Clayton Craft bc6380ae07 nsresourced: fix BPF loading when using kernel compiled with Clang
This fixes an issue where nsresourced fails to load BPF on kernels
compiled with Clang (this output was from v259):

    $ sudo env SYSTEMD_LOG_LEVEL=debug /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-nsresourced
    ; int BPF_PROG(userns_restrict_path_chown, struct path *path, void* uid, void *gid, int ret) { @ userns-restrict.bpf.c:134
    ...
    ; return validate_path(path, ret); @ userns-restrict.bpf.c:135
    ...
    ; static int validate_path(const struct path *path, int ret) { @ userns-restrict.bpf.c:120
    ...
    ; task = (struct task_struct*) bpf_get_current_task_btf(); @ userns-restrict.bpf.c:84
    ...
    ; task_userns = task->cred->user_ns; @ userns-restrict.bpf.c:85
    ...
    R2 invalid mem access 'rcu_ptr_or_null_'

When Clang is used (which sets CONFIG_PAHOLE_HAS_BTF_TAG), btf_type_tag
support is enabled. As a result, an rcu type tag is added to
task_struct::cred:

    $ bpftool btf dump file /sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux | grep "STRUCT 'task_struct'"
    [459] STRUCT 'task_struct' size=4672 vlen=242

    $ bpftool btf dump file /sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux | grep -A200 "^\[459\] STRUCT 'task_struct'" | grep cred
	    'ptracer_cred' type_id=802 bits_offset=14528
	    'real_cred' type_id=802 bits_offset=14592
	    'cred' type_id=802 bits_offset=14656

    $ bpftool btf dump file /sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux | grep '^\[802\]'
    [802] PTR '(anon)' type_id=801

    $ bpftool btf dump file /sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux | grep '^\[801\]'
    [801] TYPE_TAG 'rcu' type_id=803

Since the struct ptr *could* be null, we have to add a null pointer
check to satisfy the bpf verifier.
