Subject: [PATCH bpf] bpf: verifier: check for packet data access based on target prog

While using dynamic program extension (of type BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT), we
need to check the program type of the target program to grant the read /
write access to the packet data.

The BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT type can be used to extend types such as XDP, SKB
and others. Since the BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT program type on itself is just a
placeholder for those, we need this extended check for those target
programs to actually work while using this option.

Tested this with a freplace xdp program. Without this patch, the
verifier fails with error 'cannot write into packet'.

Could you add a selftest for this? FYI, current selftests/bpf have
4 freplace programs:
fexit_bpf2bpf.c:SEC("freplace/get_skb_len")
fexit_bpf2bpf.c:SEC("freplace/get_skb_ifindex")
fexit_bpf2bpf.c:SEC("freplace/get_constant")
freplace_connect4.c:SEC("freplace/do_bind")
