Subject: bpf: Support PTR_TO_MEM{,_OR_NULL} register spilling
Patch-mainline: v5.11 or v5.11-rc5 (next release)
Git-commit: 744ea4e3885eccb6d332a06fae9eb7420a622c0f
References: bsc#1177028

Add support for pointer to mem register spilling, to allow the verifier
to track pointers to valid memory addresses. Such pointers are returned
for example by a successful call of the bpf_ringbuf_reserve helper.

The patch was partially contributed by CyberArk Software, Inc.

Fixes: 457f44363a88 ("bpf: Implement BPF ring buffer and verifier support for it")
