The kernel verifier recognizes __arena and __arena_nullable parameter
suffixes for registered kfuncs. These arguments need the matching
address_space(1) BTF type attribute so bpftool emits usable declarations.

Extend the existing KF_ARENA_ARG1/2 handling to select arguments by either
the legacy flag or either suffix. Iterate over all parameters, allowing the
suffix convention at any argument position and avoiding duplicate tags when
a flag and suffix select the same argument.
