bpf: Support PTR_TO_MEM{,_OR_NULL} register spilling
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.
