bpf: Teach verifier that certain helpers accept NULL pointer.


bpf_[sk|inode|task|cgrp]_storage_[get|delete]() and bpf_get_socket_cookie() helpers
perform run-time check that sk|inode|task|cgrp pointer != NULL.
Teach verifier about this fact and allow bpf programs to pass
PTR_TO_BTF_ID | PTR_MAYBE_NULL into such helpers.
It will be used in the subsequent patch that will do
bpf_sk_storage_get(.., skb->sk, ...);
Even when 'skb' pointer is trusted the 'sk' pointer may be NULL.
