Daniel Xu 37cce22dbd bpf: verifier: Refactor helper access type tracking
Previously, the verifier was treating all PTR_TO_STACK registers passed
to a helper call as potentially written to by the helper. However, all
calls to check_stack_range_initialized() already have precise access type
information available.

Rather than treat ACCESS_HELPER as a proxy for BPF_WRITE, pass
enum bpf_access_type to check_stack_range_initialized() to more
precisely track helper arguments.

One benefit from this precision is that registers tracked as valid
spills and passed as a read-only helper argument remain tracked after
the call.  Rather than being marked STACK_MISC afterwards.

An additional benefit is the verifier logs are also more precise. For
this particular error, users will enjoy a slightly clearer message. See
included selftest updates for examples.
