Add PTR_TRUSTED | PTR_MAYBE_NULL modifiers for PTR_TO_BTF_ID to
check_reg_type() to support passing trusted nullable PTR_TO_BTF_ID
registers into global functions accepting `__arg_trusted __arg_nullable`
arguments. This hasn't been caught earlier because tests were either
passing known non-NULL PTR_TO_BTF_ID registers or known NULL (SCALAR)
registers.
When utilizing this functionality in complicated real-world BPF
application that passes around PTR_TO_BTF_ID_OR_NULL, it became apparent
that verifier rejects valid case because check_reg_type() doesn't handle
this case explicitly. Existing check_reg_type() logic is already
anticipating this combination, so we just need to explicitly list this
combo in the switch statement.

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.
