Move dynptr type check to is_dynptr_type_expected() from is_dynptr_reg_valid_init(), so that callers can better determine the cause of a negative result (dynamic pointer not valid/initialized, dynamic pointer of the wrong type). It will be useful for example for BTF, to restrict which dynamic pointer types can be passed to kfuncs, as initially only the local type will be supported. Also, splitting makes the code more readable, since checking the dynamic pointer type is not necessarily related to validity and initialization. Split the validity/initialization and dynamic pointer type check also in the verifier, and adjust the expected error message in the test (a test for an unexpected dynptr type passed to a helper cannot be added due to missing suitable helpers, but this case has been tested manually).

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.
