bpf: Factor out helper check_reg_const_str()

Browse source

ARG_PTR_TO_CONST_STR is used to specify constant string args for BPF
helpers. The logic that verifies a reg is ARG_PTR_TO_CONST_STR is
implemented in check_func_arg().

As we introduce kfuncs with constant string args, it is necessary to
do the same check for kfuncs (in check_kfunc_args). Factor out the logic
for ARG_PTR_TO_CONST_STR to a new check_reg_const_str() so that it can be
reused.

check_func_arg() ensures check_reg_const_str() is only called with reg of
type PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE. Add a redundent type check in check_reg_const_str()
to avoid misuse in the future. Other than this redundent check, there is
no change in behavior.
