commit d639b9d13a39cf15639cbe6e8b2c43eb60148a73 upstream.

There are some common properties shared between bpf reg, ret and arg
values. For instance, a value may be a NULL pointer, or a pointer to
a read-only memory. Previously, to express these properties, enumeration
was used. For example, in order to test whether a reg value can be NULL,
reg_type_may_be_null() simply enumerates all types that are possibly
NULL. The problem of this approach is that it's not scalable and causes
a lot of duplication. These properties can be combined, for example, a
type could be either MAYBE_NULL or RDONLY, or both.

This patch series rewrites the layout of reg_type, arg_type and
ret_type, so that common properties can be extracted and represented as
composable flag. For example, one can write

 ARG_PTR_TO_MEM | PTR_MAYBE_NULL

which is equivalent to the previous

 ARG_PTR_TO_MEM_OR_NULL

The type ARG_PTR_TO_MEM are called "base type" in this patch. Base
types can be extended with flags. A flag occupies the higher bits while
base types sits in the lower bits.

This patch in particular sets up a set of macro for this purpose. The
following patches will rewrite arg_types, ret_types and reg_types
respectively.
