Allow locking a bpf_spin_lock in an allocated object, in addition to already supported map value pointers. The handling is similar to that of map values, by just preserving the reg->id of PTR_TO_BTF_ID | MEM_ALLOC as well, and adjusting process_spin_lock to work with them and remember the id in verifier state. Refactor the existing process_spin_lock to work with PTR_TO_BTF_ID | MEM_ALLOC in addition to PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE. We need to update the reg_may_point_to_spin_lock which is used in mark_ptr_or_null_reg to preserve reg->id, that will be used in env->cur_state->active_spin_lock to remember the currently held spin lock. Also update the comment describing bpf_spin_lock implementation details to also talk about PTR_TO_BTF_ID | MEM_ALLOC type.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
