ARG_PTR_TO_CONST_STR is used to specify constant string args for BPF helpers. The logic that verifies a reg is ARG_PTR_TO_CONST_STR is implemented in check_func_arg(). As we introduce kfuncs with constant string args, it is necessary to do the same check for kfuncs (in check_kfunc_args). Factor out the logic for ARG_PTR_TO_CONST_STR to a new check_reg_const_str() so that it can be reused. check_func_arg() ensures check_reg_const_str() is only called with reg of type PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE. Add a redundent type check in check_reg_const_str() to avoid misuse in the future. Other than this redundent check, there is no change in behavior.

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.
