bpf: Teach verifier that trusted PTR_TO_BTF_ID pointers are non-NULL

In reg_type_not_null(), we currently assume that a pointer may be NULL
if it has the PTR_MAYBE_NULL modifier, or if it doesn't belong to one of
several base type of pointers that are never NULL-able. For example,
PTR_TO_CTX, PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE, etc.

It turns out that in some cases, PTR_TO_BTF_ID can never be NULL as
well, though we currently don't specify it. For example, if you had the
following program:

SEC("tc")
long example_refcnt_fail(void *ctx)
{
	struct bpf_cpumask *mask1, *mask2;

	mask1 = bpf_cpumask_create();
	mask2 = bpf_cpumask_create();

        if (!mask1 || !mask2)
		goto error_release;

	bpf_cpumask_test_cpu(0, (const struct cpumask *)mask1);
	bpf_cpumask_test_cpu(0, (const struct cpumask *)mask2);

error_release:
	if (mask1)
		bpf_cpumask_release(mask1);
	if (mask2)
		bpf_cpumask_release(mask2);
	return ret;
}

The verifier will incorrectly fail to load the program, thinking
(unintuitively) that we have a possibly-unreleased reference if the mask
is NULL, because we (correctly) don't issue a bpf_cpumask_release() on
the NULL path.

The reason the verifier gets confused is due to the fact that we don't
explicitly tell the verifier that trusted PTR_TO_BTF_ID pointers can
never be NULL. Basically, if we successfully get past the if check
(meaning both pointers go from ptr_or_null_bpf_cpumask to
ptr_bpf_cpumask), the verifier will correctly assume that the references
need to be dropped on any possible branch that leads to program exit.
However, it will _incorrectly_ think that the ptr == NULL branch is
possible, and will erroneously detect it as a branch on which we failed
to drop the reference.

The solution is of course to teach the verifier that trusted
PTR_TO_BTF_ID pointers can never be NULL, so that it doesn't incorrectly
think it's possible for the reference to be present on the ptr == NULL
branch.

A follow-on patch will add a selftest that verifies this behavior.
