BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_STORAGE maps are special in a way that the access from the bpf program side is lookup-free. That means the result is guaranteed to be a valid pointer to the cgroup storage; no NULL-check is required. This patch introduces BPF_PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE return type, which is required to cause the verifier accept programs, which are not checking the map value pointer for being NULL.
