bpf: Verifier cleanups

This patch cleans up a few things in the verifier:

  * type_is_pkt_pointer():
    Future work (skb + xdp dynptrs [0]) will be using the reg type
    PTR_TO_PACKET | PTR_MAYBE_NULL. type_is_pkt_pointer() should return
    true for any type whose base type is PTR_TO_PACKET, regardless of
    flags attached to it.

  * reg_type_may_be_refcounted_or_null():
    Get the base type at the start of the function to avoid
    having to recompute it / improve readability

  * check_func_proto(): remove unnecessary 'meta' arg

  * check_helper_call():
    Use switch casing on the base type of return value instead of
    nested ifs on the full type

There are no functional behavior changes.
