bpf programs sometimes do:
bpf_cgrp_storage_get(&map, task->cgroups->dfl_cgrp, ...);
It is safe to do, because cgroups->dfl_cgrp pointer is set diring init and
never changes. The task->cgroups is also never NULL. It is also set during init
and will change when task switches cgroups. For any trusted task pointer
dereference of cgroups and dfl_cgrp should yield trusted pointers. The verifier
wasn't aware of this. Hence in gcc compiled kernels task->cgroups dereference
was producing PTR_TO_BTF_ID without modifiers while in clang compiled kernels
the verifier recognizes __rcu tag in cgroups field and produces
PTR_TO_BTF_ID | MEM_RCU | MAYBE_NULL.
Tag cgroups and dfl_cgrp as trusted to equalize clang and gcc behavior.
When GCC supports btf_type_tag such tagging will done directly in the type.
