[bpf-next,v2,0/5] bpf: Allow skb dynptr for tp_btf

This makes bpf_dynptr_from_skb usable for tp_btf, so that we can easily
parse skb in tracepoints. This has been discussed in [0], and Martin
suggested to use dynptr (instead of helpers like bpf_skb_load_bytes).

For safety, skb dynptr shouldn't be used in fentry/fexit. This is achieved
by add KF_TRUSTED_ARGS flag in bpf_dynptr_from_skb defination, because
pointers passed by tracepoint are trusted (PTR_TRUSTED) while those of
fentry/fexit are not.

Another problem raises that NULL pointers could be passed to tracepoint,
such as trace_tcp_send_reset, and we need to recognize them. This is done
by add a "__nullable" suffix in the func_proto of the tracepoint,
discussed in [1].

2 Test cases are added, one for "__nullable" suffix, and the other for
using skb dynptr in tp_btf.

changelog
v1 -> v2:
 - Add "__nullable" suffix support (Alexei Starovoitov)
 - Replace "struct __sk_buff*" with "void*" in test (Martin KaFai Lau)
