Subject: [RFC PATCH bpf-next v3 03/12] bpf: mark struct oom_control's memcg field as TRUSTED_OR_NULL

From: Roman Gushchin <roman.gushchin@...ux.dev>

Struct oom_control is used to describe the OOM context.
It's memcg field defines the scope of OOM: it's NULL for global
OOMs and a valid memcg pointer for memcg-scoped OOMs.
Teach bpf verifier to recognize it as trusted or NULL pointer.
It will provide the bpf OOM handler a trusted memcg pointer,
which for example is required for iterating the memcg's subtree.
