[PATCHv3 bpf] bpf: Check the helper function is valid in get_helper_proto

[Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org>]

From: Jiri Olsa <olsajiri@gmail.com>

kernel test robot reported verifier bug [1] where the helper func
pointer could be NULL due to disabled config option.

As Alexei suggested we could check on that in get_helper_proto
directly. Marking tail_call helper func with BPF_PTR_POISON,
because it is unused by design.
