We introduce a new style of kfunc helpers, namely *_kptr_get, where they
take pointer to the map value which points to a referenced kernel
pointer contained in the map. Since this is referenced, only
bpf_kptr_xchg from BPF side and xchg from kernel side is allowed to
change the current value, and each pointer that resides in that location
would be referenced, and RCU protected (this must be kept in mind while
adding kernel types embeddable as reference kptr in BPF maps).

This means that if do the load of the pointer value in an RCU read
section, and find a live pointer, then as long as we hold RCU read lock,
it won't be freed by a parallel xchg + release operation. This allows us
to implement a safe refcount increment scheme. Hence, enforce that first
argument of all such kfunc is a proper PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE pointing at the
right offset to referenced pointer.

For the rest of the arguments, they are subjected to typical kfunc
argument checks, hence allowing some flexibility in passing more intent
into how the reference should be taken.

For instance, in case of struct nf_conn, it is not freed until RCU grace
period ends, but can still be reused for another tuple once refcount has
dropped to zero. Hence, a bpf_ct_kptr_get helper not only needs to call
refcount_inc_not_zero, but also do a tuple match after incrementing the
reference, and when it fails to match it, put the reference again and
return NULL.

This can be implemented easily if we allow passing additional parameters
to the bpf_ct_kptr_get kfunc, like a struct bpf_sock_tuple * and a
tuple__sz pair.
