[v2,bpf-next,2/4] bpf: Rename ARG_PTR_TO_KPTR -> ARG_KPTR_XCHG_DEST

Commit Message

From: Dave Marchevsky <[e-mail]>

ARG_PTR_TO_KPTR is currently only used by the bpf_kptr_xchg helper.
Although it limits reg types for that helper's first arg to
PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE, any arbitrary mapval won't do: further custom
verification logic ensures that the mapval reg being xchgd-into is
pointing to a kptr field. If this is not the case, it's not safe to xchg
into that reg's pointee.

Let's rename the bpf_arg_type to more accurately describe the fairly
specific expectations that this arg type encodes.

This is a nonfunctional change.
