btf: Allow dynamic pointer parameters in kfuncs

Allow dynamic pointers (struct bpf_dynptr_kern *) to be specified as
parameters in kfuncs. Also, ensure that dynamic pointers passed as argument
are valid and initialized, are a pointer to the stack, and of the type
local. More dynamic pointer types can be supported in the future.

To properly detect whether a parameter is of the desired type, introduce
the stringify_struct() macro to compare the returned structure name with
the desired name. In addition, protect against structure renames, by
halting the build with BUILD_BUG_ON(), so that developers have to revisit
the code.

To check if a dynamic pointer passed to the kfunc is valid and initialized,
and if its type is local, export the existing functions
is_dynptr_reg_valid_init() and is_dynptr_type_expected().
