[RFC PATCH bpf-next 04/12] bpf: mark struct path trusted

[Justin Suess]

Walking a trusted struct path yields a trusted dentry - a live path
never carries a NULL dentry - so BPF programs can use it with kfuncs
that require trusted arguments.

[justin: carried only the verifier.c hunk of the original patch,
 trusted instead of trusted-or-null]
