bpf: simplify narrower ctx access
This work tries to make the semantics and code around the narrower ctx access a bit easier to follow. Right now everything is done inside the .is_valid_access(). Offset matching is done differently for read/write types, meaning writes don't support narrower access and thus matching only on offsetof(struct foo, bar) is enough whereas for read case that supports narrower access we must check for offsetof(struct foo, bar) + offsetof(struct foo, bar) + sizeof(<bar>) - 1 for each of the cases. For read cases of individual members that don't support narrower access (like packet pointers or skb->cb[] case which has its own narrow access logic), we check as usual only offsetof(struct foo, bar) like in write case. Then, for the case where narrower access is allowed, we also need to set the aux info for the access. Meaning, ctx_field_size and converted_op_size have to be set. First is the original field size e.g. sizeof(<bar>) as in above example from the user facing ctx, and latte...
