[PATCH bpf 1/2] bpf: Fix memory access flags in helper prototypes

[Zesen Liu <ftyghome@gmail.com>]

After commit 37cce22dbd51 ("bpf: verifier: Refactor helper access type tracking"),
the verifier started relying on the access type flags in helper
function prototypes to perform memory access optimizations.

Currently, several helper functions utilizing ARG_PTR_TO_MEM lack the
corresponding MEM_RDONLY or MEM_WRITE flags. This omission causes the
verifier to incorrectly assume that the buffer contents are unchanged
across the helper call. Consequently, the verifier may optimize away
subsequent reads based on this wrong assumption, leading to correctness
issues.

For bpf_get_stack_proto_raw_tp, the original MEM_RDONLY was incorrect
since the helper writes to the buffer. Change it to ARG_PTR_TO_UNINIT_MEM
which correctly indicates write access to potentially uninitialized memory.

Similar issues were recently addressed for specific helpers in commit
ac44dcc788b9 ("bpf: Fix verifier assumptions of bpf_d_path's output buffer")
and commit 2eb7648558a7 ("bpf: Specify access type of bpf_sysctl_get_name args").

Fix these prototypes by adding the correct memory access flags.
