[PATCH bpf-next v5 04/11] bpf: Track R2 of register-pair returns in precision backtracking

Precision backtracking treats only R0 as a return register at a
call/return boundary, so once the verifier starts modeling R2 that way,
marking the second half of such a return precise would trip the
"unexpected regs" checks in backtrack_insn() and reject a valid
program.

Marking the upper half precise, for example by branching on it after a
call to a static subprogram, walks backtracking into the callee and
reaches its BPF_EXIT with R2 still set in the mask. Handle R2 like R0
in boundaries where a call defines the return registers.

R2 differs from R0 in that it is an argument register as well, which
makes two things worth spelling out:

 - R2 is only excused from the BPF_REGMASK_ARGS check where the callee
   or kfunc really does return a pair, as reported by
   bpf_ret_reg_pair()/bpf_kfunc_ret_reg_pair(). Any other call leaves R2
   uninitialized, so a request for its precision cannot be legitimate,
   and clearing it unconditionally would turn that verifier bug from a
   loud -EFAULT into a silently dropped precision request.

 - at BPF_EXIT the return registers are sampled before the callback path
   clears R1-R5. That clear does not touch R0, but it does cover R2, and
   running it first would drop a pair return whenever the instruction
   following the call happens to be one that invokes a callback.
