bpf: Replace PTR_TO_XXX_OR_NULL with PTR_TO_XXX | PTR_MAYBE_NULL

We have introduced a new type to make bpf_reg composable, by
allocating bits in the type to represent flags.

One of the flags is PTR_MAYBE_NULL which indicates a pointer
may be NULL. This patch switches the qualified reg_types to
use this flag. The reg_types changed in this patch include:

1. PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE_OR_NULL
2. PTR_TO_SOCKET_OR_NULL
3. PTR_TO_SOCK_COMMON_OR_NULL
4. PTR_TO_TCP_SOCK_OR_NULL
5. PTR_TO_BTF_ID_OR_NULL
6. PTR_TO_MEM_OR_NULL
7. PTR_TO_RDONLY_BUF_OR_NULL
8. PTR_TO_RDWR_BUF_OR_NULL
