bpf: Support bpf_kptr_xchg into local kptr
Currently, users can only stash kptr into map values with bpf_kptr_xchg(). This patch further supports stashing kptr into local kptr by adding local kptr as a valid destination type. When stashing into local kptr, btf_record in program BTF is used instead of btf_record in map to search for the btf_field of the local kptr. The local kptr specific checks in check_reg_type() only apply when the source argument of bpf_kptr_xchg() is local kptr. Therefore, we make the scope of the check explicit as the destination now can also be local kptr.
