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_'.

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.
