From: Gilad Reti <gilad.reti@gmail.com>

commit 744ea4e3885eccb6d332a06fae9eb7420a622c0f upstream.

Add support for pointer to mem register spilling, to allow the verifier
to track pointers to valid memory addresses. Such pointers are returned
for example by a successful call of the bpf_ringbuf_reserve helper.

The patch was partially contributed by CyberArk Software, Inc.
