Hi,

This is the second of three patch sets to unify kfunc and helper
argument verification. It:

  1) further aligns the kfunc and helper argument checks,
  2) makes kfunc argument type classification depend solely on BTF, and
  3) generates a bpf_func_proto for each kfunc.

With classification now a pure function of the kfunc's BTF, it is computed
once at add-call time and cached in the generated bpf_func_proto, rather
than re-derived on every verification of the call. Along the way it also
fixes a few issues.

The next patch set will align the argument register compatibility checks
and route helper and kfunc argument verification through a single shared
function.
