bpf: Introduce ARG_PTR_TO_{INT,LONG} arg types

Browse source 
Currently the way to pass result from BPF helper to BPF program is to
provide memory area defined by pointer and size: func(void *, size_t).

It works great for generic use-case, but for simple types, such as int,
it's overkill and consumes two arguments when it could use just one.

Introduce new argument types ARG_PTR_TO_INT and ARG_PTR_TO_LONG to be
able to pass result from helper to program via pointer to int and long
correspondingly: func(int *) or func(long *).

New argument types are similar to ARG_PTR_TO_MEM with the following
differences:
* they don't require corresponding ARG_CONST_SIZE argument, predefined
  access sizes are used instead (32bit for int, 64bit for long);
* it's possible to use more than one such an argument in a helper;
* provided pointers have to be aligned.

It's easy to introduce similar ARG_PTR_TO_CHAR and ARG_PTR_TO_SHORT
argument types. It's not done due to lack of use-case though.
