[PATCH bpf-next v7 02/24] bpf/verifier: allow kfunc to read user provided context

[Benjamin Tissoires <benjamin.tissoires@xxxxxxxxxx>]

When a kfunc was trying to access data from context in a syscall eBPF
program, the verifier was rejecting the call.
This is because the syscall context is not known at compile time, and
so we need to check this when actually accessing it.

Check for the valid memory access and allow such situation to happen.

Signed-off-by: Benjamin Tissoires <benjamin.tissoires@xxxxxxxxxx>

changes in v7:
- renamed access_t into atype
- allow zero-byte read
- check_mem_access() to the correct offset/size

new in v6
