Generalize btf_prepare_func_args() to support both global and static subprogs. We are going to utilize this property in the next patch, reusing btf_prepare_func_args() for subprog call logic instead of reparsing BTF information in a completely separate implementation. btf_prepare_func_args() now detects whether subprog is global or static makes slight logic adjustments for static func cases, like not failing fatally (-EFAULT) for conditions that are allowable for static subprogs. Somewhat subtle (but major!) difference is the handling of pointer arguments. Both global and static functions need to handle special context arguments (which are pointers to predefined type names), but static subprogs give up on any other pointers, falling back to marking subprog as "unreliable", disabling the use of BTF type information altogether. For global functions, though, we are assuming that such pointers to unrecognized types are just pointers to fixed-sized memory region (or error out if size cannot be established, like for `void *` pointers). This patch accommodates these small differences and sets up a stage for refactoring in the next patch, eliminating a separate BTF-based parsing logic in btf_check_func_arg_match().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
