Existing verifier does not allow 'ctx + const + const'.  However, due to
compiler optimization, there is a case where BPF compilerit generates
'ctx + const + 0', as shown below:

  599: (1d) if r2 == r4 goto pc+2
   R0=inv(id=0) R1=ctx(id=0,off=40,imm=0)
   R2=inv(id=0,umax_value=4294967295,var_off=(0x0; 0xffffffff))
   R3=inv(id=0,umax_value=65535,var_off=(0x0; 0xffff)) R4=inv0
   R6=ctx(id=0,off=0,imm=0) R7=inv2
  600: (bf) r1 = r6			// r1 is ctx
  601: (07) r1 += 36			// r1 has offset 36
  602: (61) r4 = *(u32 *)(r1 +0)	// r1 + 0
  dereference of modified ctx ptr R1 off=36+0, ctx+const is allowed,
  ctx+const+const is not

The reason for BPF backend generating this code is due optimization
likes this, explained from Yonghong:
    if (...)
        *(ctx + 60)
    else
        *(ctx + 56)

The compiler translates it to
    if (...)
       ptr = ctx + 60
    else
       ptr = ctx + 56
    *(ptr + 0)

So load ptr memory become an example of 'ctx + const + 0'.  This patch
enables support for this case.

How rewritten code looks here?

The patch is allowing check_ctx_access() to proceed with sort-of
correct 'off' and remember ctx_field_size,
but in convert_ctx_accesses() it's using insn->off to do conversion.
Which is zero in this case, so it will convert
struct __sk_buff {
        __u32 len; // offset 0

into access of 'struct sk_buff'->len
and then will add __sk_buff's &data - &mark delta to in-kernel len field.
Which will point to some random field further down in struct sk_buff.
Doesn't look correct at all.
