====================
bpf: Reject MEM_ALLOC BTF accesses past bounds

BTF struct walks can relax the top-level struct-size check for trailing
flexible arrays. That relaxation must not let a PTR_TO_BTF_ID | MEM_ALLOC
access escape the bytes allocated by bpf_obj_new() or bpf_percpu_obj_new().

Patch 1 rejects MEM_ALLOC BTF walks whose access range reaches past the
current struct size before applying the flexible-array relaxation. This now
also applies to struct ID matching used by kfunc and kptr type checks.
Patch 2 adds a linked_list negative loader case for this path.

Changes in v3:
- Pass the flexible-array walk policy through btf_struct_ids_match() callers,
  so MEM_ALLOC kfunc/kptr type checks use the same bounds rule.
- Rename the btf_struct_walk() parameter to walk_flex_arrays.
- Rebase onto current bpf-next.
