David Vernet 027bdec893 bpf/docs: Document the nocast aliasing behavior of ___init 
When comparing BTF IDs for pointers being passed to kfunc arguments, the
verifier will allow pointer types that are equivalent according to the C
standard. For example, for:

struct bpf_cpumask {
	cpumask_t cpumask;
	refcount_t usage;
};

The verifier will allow a struct bpf_cpumask * to be passed to a kfunc
that takes a const struct cpumask * (cpumask_t is a typedef of struct
cpumask). The exception to this rule is if a type is suffixed with
___init, such as:

struct nf_conn___init {
	struct nf_conn ct;
};

The verifier will _not_ allow a struct nf_conn___init * to be passed to
a kfunc that expects a struct nf_conn *. This patch documents this
behavior in the kfuncs documentation page.
