[v15,02/12] bpf: Move dynptr type check to is_dynptr_type_expected()

Commit Message

From: Roberto Sassu <[e-mail]>

Move dynptr type check to is_dynptr_type_expected() from
is_dynptr_reg_valid_init(), so that callers can better determine the cause
of a negative result (dynamic pointer not valid/initialized, dynamic
pointer of the wrong type). It will be useful for example for BTF, to
restrict which dynamic pointer types can be passed to kfuncs, as initially
only the local type will be supported.

Also, splitting makes the code more readable, since checking the dynamic
pointer type is not necessarily related to validity and initialization.

Split the validity/initialization and dynamic pointer type check also in
the verifier, and adjust the expected error message in the test (a test for
an unexpected dynptr type passed to a helper cannot be added due to missing
suitable helpers, but this case has been tested manually).
