bpf: Constant map key tracking for prog array pokes

Add tracking of constant keys into tail call maps. The signature of
bpf_tail_call_proto is that arg1 is ctx, arg2 map pointer and arg3
is a index key. The direct call approach for tail calls can be enabled
if the verifier asserted that for all branches leading to the tail call
helper invocation, the map pointer and index key were both constant
and the same.

Tracking of map pointers we already do from prior work via c93552c443eb
("bpf: properly enforce index mask to prevent out-of-bounds speculation")
and 09772d92cd5a ("bpf: avoid retpoline for lookup/update/ delete calls
on maps").

Given the tail call map index key is not on stack but directly in the
register, we can add similar tracking approach and later in fixup_bpf_calls()
add a poke descriptor to the progs poke_tab with the relevant information
for the JITing phase.

We internally reuse insn->imm for the rewritten BPF_JMP | BPF_TAIL_CALL
instruction in order to point into the prog's poke_tab, and keep insn->imm
as 0 as indicator that current indirect tail call emission must be used.
Note that publishing to the tracker must happen at the end of fixup_bpf_calls()
since adding elements to the poke_tab reallocates its memory, so we need
to wait until its in final state.

Future work can generalize and add similar approach to optimize plain
array map lookups. Difference there is that we need to look into the key
value that sits on stack. For clarity in bpf_insn_aux_data, map_state
has been renamed into map_ptr_state, so we get map_{ptr,key}_state as
trackers.
