Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi 894f2a8b16 bpf: Rename MEM_ALLOC to MEM_RINGBUF
Currently, verifier uses MEM_ALLOC type tag to specially tag memory
returned from bpf_ringbuf_reserve helper. However, this is currently
only used for this purpose and there is an implicit assumption that it
only refers to ringbuf memory (e.g. the check for ARG_PTR_TO_ALLOC_MEM
in check_func_arg_reg_off).

Hence, rename MEM_ALLOC to MEM_RINGBUF to indicate this special
relationship and instead open the use of MEM_ALLOC for more generic
allocations made for user types.

Also, since ARG_PTR_TO_ALLOC_MEM_OR_NULL is unused, simply drop it.

Finally, update selftests using 'alloc_' verifier string to 'ringbuf_'.
