Juntong Deng f633919d13 bpf: Relax KF_ACQUIRE kfuncs strict type matching constraint
Currently we cannot pass zero offset (implicit cast) or non-zero offset
pointers to KF_ACQUIRE kfuncs. This is because KF_ACQUIRE kfuncs
requires strict type matching, but zero offset or non-zero offset does
not change the type of pointer, which causes the ebpf program to be
rejected by the verifier.

This can cause some problems, one example is that bpf_skb_peek_tail
kfunc [0] cannot be implemented by just passing in non-zero offset
pointers. We cannot pass pointers like &sk->sk_write_queue (non-zero
offset) or &sk->__sk_common (zero offset) to KF_ACQUIRE kfuncs.

This patch makes KF_ACQUIRE kfuncs not require strict type matching.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
