In a recent patch, we taught the verifier that trusted PTR_TO_BTF_ID can
never be NULL. This prevents the verifier from incorrectly failing to
load certain programs where it gets confused and thinks a reference
isn't dropped because it incorrectly assumes that a branch exists in
which a NULL PTR_TO_BTF_ID pointer is never released.
This patch adds a testcase that verifies this cannot happen.

I hope someone else can look at the actual change. It looks good to
me conceptually, but not sure what other parts it might affect.
