__kptr meant to store PTR_UNTRUSTED kernel pointers inside bpf maps. The concept felt useful, but didn't get much traction, since bpf_rdonly_cast() was added soon after and bpf programs received a simpler way to access PTR_UNTRUSTED kernel pointers without going through restrictive __kptr usage. Rename __kptr_ref -> __kptr and __kptr -> __kptr_untrusted to indicate its intended usage. The main goal of __kptr_untrusted was to read/write such pointers directly while bpf_kptr_xchg was a mechanism to access refcnted kernel pointers. The next patch will allow RCU protected __kptr access with direct read. At that point __kptr_untrusted will be deprecated.
