bpf: Add extra path pointer check to d_path helper

Anastasios reported crash on stable 5.15 kernel with following
BPF attached to lsm hook:

  SEC("lsm.s/bprm_creds_for_exec")
  int BPF_PROG(bprm_creds_for_exec, struct linux_binprm *bprm)
  {
          struct path *path = &bprm->executable->f_path;
          char p[128] = { 0 };

          bpf_d_path(path, p, 128);
          return 0;
  }

But bprm->executable can be NULL, so bpf_d_path call will crash:

  BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000018

It's problem for all stable trees with bpf_d_path helper, which was
added in 5.9.

This issue is fixed in current bpf code, where we identify and mark
trusted pointers, so the above code would fail even to load.

For the sake of the stable trees and to workaround potentially broken
verifier in the future, adding the code that reads the path object from
the passed pointer and verifies it's valid in kernel space.
