Alexei Starovoitov 03b77e17ae 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.
