Do you intend to really accept all kinds of dynptr here? In the future
we will get more, and by default ARG_PTR_TO_DYNPTR accepts all, so it
seems better to start with a small strict subset.

Secondly, you need to also check whether reg is a PTR_TO_STACK inside
this arg_dynptr branch. It is incorrect to call
is_dynptr_reg_valid_init for any other type of register. It would also
be nice to include some tests for that.
