[PATCH v14 02/12] bpf: Move dynptr type check to is_dynptr_type_expected()

From: Roberto Sassu <roberto.sassu at huawei.com>

Move dynptr type check to is_dynptr_type_expected() from
is_dynptr_reg_valid_init(), so that callers can better determine the cause
of a negative result (dynamic pointer not valid/initialized, dynamic
pointer of the wrong type).

Also, splitting makes the code more readable, since checking the dynamic
pointer type is not necessarily related to validity and initialization.

Split the validity/initialization and dynamic pointer type check also in
the verifier, and adjust the expected error message in the test (a test for
an unexpected dynptr type passed to a helper cannot be added due to missing
suitable helpers, but this case has been tested manually).
