Nuoqi Gui fa75b7c85b bpf: Enforce write checks for BTF pointer helper access
check_mem_reg() verifies both read and write access for global subprogram
memory arguments. When the caller register is PTR_TO_BTF_ID,
check_helper_mem_access() currently forwards the access to
check_ptr_to_btf_access() as BPF_READ regardless of the requested access
type.

This lets a BTF-backed kernel object field pointer pass the caller-side
writable memory check for a global subprogram argument. The callee is then
validated with a generic writable PTR_TO_MEM argument and can store through
it, even though an equivalent direct BTF field store is rejected with "only
read is supported".

Forward the requested access type to check_ptr_to_btf_access().
This enforces existing BTF write restrictions for global subprogram memory
arguments as well.

Fixes: 3e30be4288 ("bpf: Allow helpers access trusted PTR_TO_BTF_ID.")
