This patch set intends to change verifier ARG_CONST_SIZE_OR_ZERO
semantics so that simpler bpf programs can be written with verifier
acceptance. Patch #1 comment provided the detailed examples and
the patch itself implements the new semantics. Patch #2
changes bpf_probe_read helper arg2 type from
ARG_CONST_SIZE to ARG_CONST_SIZE_OR_ZERO. Patch #3 fixed a few
test cases and added some for better coverage.

Changelog:
v2 -> v3:
  Fix comments to make patchwork happy
v1 -> v2:
  Fix typo in commit message pointed by Sergei Shtylyov
