[ Upstream commit cd17d38f8b28f808c368121041c0a4fa91757e0d ]

Currently, when checking stack memory accessed by helper calls,
for spills, only PTR_TO_BTF_ID and SCALAR_VALUE are
allowed.

Song discovered an issue where the below bpf program
int dump_task(struct bpf_iter__task *ctx)
{
struct seq_file *seq = ctx->meta->seq;
static char[] info = "abc";
BPF_SEQ_PRINTF(seq, "%s\n", info);
return 0;
}
may cause a verifier failure.

The verifier output looks like:
; struct seq_file *seq = ctx->meta->seq;
1: (79) r1 = *(u64 *)(r1 +0)
; BPF_SEQ_PRINTF(seq, "%s\n", info);
2: (18) r2 = 0xffff9054400f6000
4: (7b) *(u64 *)(r10 -8) = r2
5: (bf) r4 = r10
;
6: (07) r4 += -8
; BPF_SEQ_PRINTF(seq, "%s\n", info);
7: (18) r2 = 0xffff9054400fe000
9: (b4) w3 = 4
10: (b4) w5 = 8
11: (85) call bpf_seq_printf#126
R1_w=ptr_seq_file(id=0,off=0,imm=0) R2_w=map_value(id=0,off=0,ks=4,vs=4,imm=0)
R3_w=inv4 R4_w=fp-8 R5_w=inv8 R10=fp0 fp-8_w=map_value
last_idx 11 first_idx 0
regs=8 stack=0 before 10: (b4) w5 = 8
regs=8 stack=0 before 9: (b4) w3 = 4
invalid indirect read from stack off -8+0 size 8

Basically, the verifier complains the map_value pointer at "fp-8" location.
To fix the issue, if env->allow_ptr_leaks is true, let us also permit
pointers on the stack to be accessible by the helper.
