bpf: Add a kfunc for generic type cast
Implement bpf_rdonly_cast() which tries to cast the object to a specified type. This tries to support use case like below: #define skb_shinfo(SKB) ((struct skb_shared_info *)(skb_end_pointer(SKB))) where skb_end_pointer(SKB) is a 'unsigned char *' and needs to be casted to 'struct skb_shared_info *'. The signature of bpf_rdonly_cast() looks like void *bpf_rdonly_cast(void *obj, __u32 btf_id) The function returns the same 'obj' but with PTR_TO_BTF_ID with btf_id. The verifier will ensure btf_id being a struct type. Since the supported type cast may not reflect what the 'obj' represents, the returned btf_id is marked as PTR_UNTRUSTED, so the return value and subsequent pointer chasing cannot be used as helper/kfunc arguments.
