bpf: Refactor active lock management



When bpf_spin_lock was introduced originally, there was deliberation on
whether to use an array of lock IDs, but since bpf_spin_lock is limited
to holding a single lock at any given time, we've been using a single ID
to identify the held lock.

In preparation for introducing spin locks that can be taken multiple
times, introduce support for acquiring multiple lock IDs. For this
purpose, reuse the acquired_refs array and store both lock and pointer
references. We tag the entry with REF_TYPE_PTR or REF_TYPE_LOCK to
disambiguate and find the relevant entry. The ptr field is used to track
the map_ptr or btf (for bpf_obj_new allocations) to ensure locks can be
matched with protected fields within the same "allocation", i.e.
bpf_obj_new object or map value.

The struct active_lock is changed to an int as the state is part of the
acquired_refs array, and we only need active_lock as a cheap way of
detecting lock presence.
