bpf: Add MEM_UNINIT as a bpf_type_flag
Instead of having uninitialized versions of arguments as separate
bpf_arg_types (eg ARG_PTR_TO_UNINIT_MEM as the uninitialized version
of ARG_PTR_TO_MEM), we can instead use MEM_UNINIT as a bpf_type_flag
modifier to denote that the argument is uninitialized.
Doing so cleans up some of the logic in the verifier. We no longer
need to do two checks against an argument type (eg "if
(base_type(arg_type) == ARG_PTR_TO_MEM || base_type(arg_type) ==
ARG_PTR_TO_UNINIT_MEM)"), since uninitialized and initialized
versions of the same argument type will now share the same base type.
In the near future, MEM_UNINIT will be used by dynptr helper functions
as well.
