bpf: Tag argument to be released in bpf_func_proto

Add a new type flag for bpf_arg_type that when set tells verifier that
for a release function, that argument's register will be the one for
which meta.ref_obj_id will be set, and which will then be released
using release_reference. To capture the regno, introduce a new field
release_regno in bpf_call_arg_meta.

This would be required in the next patch, where we may either pass NULL
or a refcounted pointer as an argument to the release function
bpf_kptr_xchg. Just releasing only when meta.ref_obj_id is set is not
enough, as there is a case where the type of argument needed matches,
but the ref_obj_id is set to 0. Hence, we must enforce that whenever
meta.ref_obj_id is zero, the register that is to be released can only
be NULL for a release function.

Since we now indicate whether an argument is to be released in
bpf_func_proto itself, is_release_function helper has lost its utitlity,
hence refactor code to work without it, and just rely on
meta.release_regno to know when to release state for a ref_obj_id.
Still, the restriction of one release argument and only one ref_obj_id
passed to BPF helper or kfunc remains. This may be lifted in the future.
