Daniel Borkmann 41c5dbb4be bpf: Derive the atomic load register in one place
check_atomic_rmw() open codes the mapping from a BPF_ATOMIC to the register
it reads the old value into, the BPF_STX case of insn_def_regno() open codes
the very same mapping a second time, the const folding and the liveness
transfer functions a third and a fourth time, and BPF JITs need it as well
to know which register a faulting BPF_PROBE_ATOMIC has to clear.

Add a small helper so that all of them can share it. No functional change.
The BPF_LOAD_ACQ case is there for the JITs, which do walk all instruction
classes. const_reg_xfer() loses its explicit BPF_ATOMIC mode test since the
helper checks class and mode itself; the BPF_PROBE_ATOMIC it additionally
accepts cannot be seen there as it is only set from bpf_do_misc_fixups(),
that is, after const folding has run. arg_track_xfer() keeps its mode test
since that also guards the stack clearing next to it.
