Make generic check to prevent XXX_OR_NULL and XXX register types to be intermixed. While technically in some situations it could be safe, it's impossible to enforce due to the loss of an ID when converting XXX_OR_NULL to its non-NULL variant. So prevent this in general, not just for PTR_TO_MAP_KEY and PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE. PTR_TO_MAP_KEY_OR_NULL and PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE_OR_NULL checks, which were previously special-cased, are simplified to generic check that takes into account range_within() and tnum_in(). This is correct as BPF verifier doesn't allow arithmetic on XXX_OR_NULL register types, so var_off and ranges should stay zero. But even if in the future this restriction is lifted, it's even more important to enforce that var_off and ranges are compatible, otherwise it's possible to construct case where this can be exploited to bypass verifier's memory range safety checks.

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.
