bpf: Add helper functions for r11-based stack argument insns

Browse source

Add three static inline helper functions — is_stack_arg_ldx(),
is_stack_arg_st(), and is_stack_arg_stx() — that identify r11-based
(BPF_REG_PARAMS) instructions used for stack argument passing. These
helpers encapsulate the detailed encoding requirements (operand size,
register, offset alignment and sign) and hide raw BPF_REG_PARAMS usage
from the verifier, making call sites more readable and explicit.

A later patch ("bpf: Enable r11 based insns") will wire these helpers
into the verifier. Until then, check_and_resolve_insns() rejects any
r11-based registers.
