bpf: Consolidate locks and reference state in verifier state



Currently, state for RCU read locks and preemption is in
bpf_verifier_state, while locks and pointer reference state remains in
bpf_func_state. There is no particular reason to keep the latter in
bpf_func_state. Additionally, it is copied into a new frame's state and
copied back to the caller frame's state everytime the verifier processes
a pseudo call instruction. This is a bit wasteful, given this state is
global for a given verification state / path.

Move all resource and reference related state in bpf_verifier_state
structure in this patch, in preparation for introducing new reference
state types in the future.

Since we switch print_verifier_state and friends to print using vstate,
we now need to explicitly pass in the verifier state from the caller
along with the bpf_func_state, so modify the prototype and callers to do
so. To ensure func state matches the verifier state when we're printing
data, take in frame number instead of bpf_func_state pointer instead and
avoid inconsistencies induced by the caller.
