Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/3] bpf: improve verifier ARG_CONST_SIZE_OR_ZERO semantics

This patch set intends to change verifier ARG_CONST_SIZE_OR_ZERO
semantics so that simpler bpf programs can be written with verifier
acceptance. Patch #1 comment provided the detailed examples and
the patch itself implements the new semantics. Patch #2
changes bpf_probe_read helper arg2 type from
ARG_CONST_SIZE to ARG_CONST_SIZE_OR_ZERO. Patch #3 fixed a few
test cases and added some for better coverage.

  bpf: fix and add test cases for ARG_CONST_SIZE_OR_ZERO semantics
