bpf: Check read access for helper input/output buffers

MEM_WRITE without MEM_UNINIT denotes memory that is read as well as
written. Helper argument checking requests only BPF_WRITE for it, which
checks stack initialization but omits read permission checks on map values.
For example, bpf_check_mtu() reads its mtu_len argument before overwriting
it, but the verifier permits that argument to point into a BPF_F_WRONLY_PROG
map. bpf_fib_lookup() and bpf_load_hdr_opt() are affected the same way.

Derive generic memory access from argument flags: read-only for inputs,
write-only for MEM_WRITE | MEM_UNINIT, and read/write for MEM_WRITE alone.
Partial-output helpers such as bpf_snprintf() now carry MEM_UNINIT, so
their write-only map destinations remain valid. Generated kfunc prototypes
already encode the same distinction, which retires the kfunc-specific
access override.
