bpf: Simplify reg0 marking for the rbtree kfuncs that return a bpf_rb_node pointer

Browse source

The current rbtree kfunc, bpf_rbtree_{first, remove}, returns the
bpf_rb_node pointer. The check_kfunc_call currently checks the
kfunc btf_id instead of its return pointer type to decide
if it needs to do mark_reg_graph_node(reg0) and ref_set_non_owning(reg0).

The later patch will add bpf_rbtree_{root,left,right} that will also
return a bpf_rb_node pointer. Instead of adding more kfunc btf_id
checks to the "if" case, this patch changes the test to check the
kfunc's return type. is_rbtree_node_type() function is added to
test if a pointer type is a bpf_rb_node. The callers have already
skipped the modifiers of the pointer type.

A note on the ref_set_non_owning(), although bpf_rbtree_remove()
also returns a bpf_rb_node pointer, the bpf_rbtree_remove()
has the KF_ACQUIRE flag. Thus, its reg0 will not become non-owning.
