commit 3c48073226 upstream.
We have introduced a new type to make bpf_ret composable, by
reserving high bits to represent flags.
One of the flag is PTR_MAYBE_NULL, which indicates a pointer
may be NULL. When applying this flag to ret_types, it means
the returned value could be a NULL pointer. This patch
switches the qualified arg_types to use this flag.
The ret_types changed in this patch include:
1. RET_PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE_OR_NULL
2. RET_PTR_TO_SOCKET_OR_NULL
3. RET_PTR_TO_TCP_SOCK_OR_NULL
4. RET_PTR_TO_SOCK_COMMON_OR_NULL
5. RET_PTR_TO_ALLOC_MEM_OR_NULL
6. RET_PTR_TO_MEM_OR_BTF_ID_OR_NULL
7. RET_PTR_TO_BTF_ID_OR_NULL
This patch doesn't eliminate the use of these names, instead
it makes them aliases to 'RET_PTR_TO_XXX | PTR_MAYBE_NULL'.

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.
