bpf: Support __nullable argument suffix for tp_btf

Pointers passed to tp_btf were trusted to be valid, but some tracepoints
do take NULL pointer as input, such as trace_tcp_send_reset(). Then the
invalid memory access cannot be detected by verifier.

This patch fix it by add a suffix "__nullable" to the unreliable
argument. The suffix is shown in btf, and PTR_MAYBE_NULL will be added
to nullable arguments. Then users must check the pointer before use it.

A problem here is that we use "btf_trace_##call" to search func_proto.
As it is a typedef, argument names as well as the suffix are not
recorded. To solve this, I use bpf_raw_event_map to find
"__bpf_trace##template" from "btf_trace_##call", and then we can see the
suffix.
