bpf: verifier: Relax caller requirements for kfunc projection type args

Browse Source 
Currently, if a kfunc accepts a projection type as an argument (eg
struct __sk_buff *), the caller must exactly provide exactly the same
type with provable provenance.

However in practice, kfuncs that accept projection types _must_ cast to
the underlying type before use b/c projection type layouts are
completely made up. Thus, it is ok to relax the verifier rules around
implicit conversions.

We will use this functionality in the next commit when we align kfuncs
to user-facing types.
