bpf: Rename __kptr_ref -> __kptr and __kptr -> __kptr_untrusted.

__kptr meant to store PTR_UNTRUSTED kernel pointers inside bpf maps.
The concept felt useful, but didn't get much traction,
since bpf_rdonly_cast() was added soon after and bpf programs received
a simpler way to access PTR_UNTRUSTED kernel pointers
without going through restrictive __kptr usage.

Rename __kptr_ref -> __kptr and __kptr -> __kptr_untrusted to indicate
its intended usage.
The main goal of __kptr_untrusted was to read/write such pointers
directly while bpf_kptr_xchg was a mechanism to access refcnted
kernel pointers. The next patch will allow RCU protected __kptr access
with direct read. At that point __kptr_untrusted will be deprecated.

 Q: Users are allowed to embed bpf_spin_lock, bpf_timer fields in their BPF map
 values (when using BTF support for BPF maps). This allows to use helpers for
 such objects on these fields inside map values. Users are also allowed to embed
-pointers to some kernel types (with __kptr and __kptr_ref BTF tags). Will the

 A: It depends. For bpf_spin_lock, bpf_timer: YES, for kptr and everything else:
