To prepare the BPF verifier to handle special fields in both map values
and program allocated types coming from program BTF, we need to refactor
the kptr_off_tab handling code into something more generic and reusable
across both cases to avoid code duplication.
Later patches also require passing this data to helpers at runtime, so
that they can work on user defined types, initialize them, destruct
them, etc.
The main observation is that both map values and such allocated types
point to a type in program BTF, hence they can be handled similarly. We
can prepare a field metadata table for both cases and store them in
struct bpf_map or struct btf depending on the use case.
Hence, refactor the code into generic btf_record and btf_field member
structs. The btf_record represents the fields of a specific btf_type in
user BTF. The cnt indicates the number of special fields we successfully
recognized, and field_mask is a bitmask of fields that were found, to
enable quick determination of availability of a certain field.
Subsequently, refactor the rest of the code to work with these generic
types, remove assumptions about kptr and kptr_off_tab, rename variables
to more meaningful names, etc.
