When a function was trying to access data from context in a syscall eBPF
program, the verifier was rejecting the call unless it was accessing the
first element.
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 if there is no convert_ctx callback,
and allow such situation to happen.
There is a slight hiccup with subprogs. btf_check_subprog_arg_match()
will check that the types are matching, which is a good thing, but to
have an accurate result, it hides the fact that the context register may
be null. This makes env->prog->aux->max_ctx_offset being set to the size
of the context, which is incompatible with a NULL context.
Solve that last problem by storing max_ctx_offset before the type check
and restoring it after.

changes in v10:
- dropped the hunk in btf.c saving/restoring max_ctx_offset
changes in v9:
- rewrote the commit title and description
- made it so all functions can make use of context even if there is
no convert_ctx
- remove the is_kfunc field in bpf_call_arg_meta
changes in v8:
- fixup comment
- return -EACCESS instead of -EINVAL for consistency
changes in v7:
- renamed access_t into atype
- allow zero-byte read
- check_mem_access() to the correct offset/size
new in v6
