bpf: guarantee r1 to be ctx in case of bpf_helper_changes_pkt_data
Some JITs don't cache skb context on stack in prologue, so when
LD_ABS/IND is used and helper calls yield bpf_helper_changes_pkt_data()
as true, then they temporarily save/restore skb pointer. However,
the assumption that skb always has to be in r1 is a bit of a
gamble. Right now it turned out to be true for all helpers listed
in bpf_helper_changes_pkt_data(), but lets enforce that from verifier
side, so that we make this a guarantee and bail out if the func
proto is misconfigured in future helpers.
In case of BPF helper calls from cBPF, bpf_helper_changes_pkt_data()
is completely unrelevant here (since cBPF is context read-only) and
therefore always false.
