The function verifier.c:convert_ctx_access() applies some rewrites to BPF
instructions that read from or write to the BPF program context.
For example, the write instruction for the `struct bpf_sockopt::retval`
field:

    *(u32 *)(r1 + offsetof(struct bpf_sockopt, retval)) = r2

Is transformed to:

    *(u64 *)(r1 + offsetof(struct bpf_sockopt_kern, tmp_reg)) = r9
    r9 = *(u64 *)(r1 + offsetof(struct bpf_sockopt_kern, current_task))
    r9 = *(u64 *)(r9 + offsetof(struct task_struct, bpf_ctx))
    *(u32 *)(r9 + offsetof(struct bpf_cg_run_ctx, retval)) = r2
    r9 = *(u64 *)(r1 + offsetof(struct bpf_sockopt_kern, tmp_reg))
    
Currently, the verifier only supports such transformations for LDX
(memory-to-register read) and STX (register-to-memory write) instructions.
Error is reported for ST instructions (immediate-to-memory write).
This is fine because clang does not currently emit ST instructions.

However, new `-mcpu=v4` clang flag is planned, which would allow to emit
ST instructions (discussed in [1]).

This patch-set adjusts the verifier to support ST instructions in
`verifier.c:convert_ctx_access()`.

The patches #1 and #2 were previously shared as part of RFC [2]. The
changes compared to that RFC are:
- In patch #1, a bug in the handling of the
  `struct __sk_buff::queue_mapping` field was fixed.
- Patch #3 is added, which is a set of disassembler-based test cases for
  context access rewrites. The test cases cover all fields for which the
  handling code is modified in patch #1.
