A 'struct bpf_refcount' is added to the set of opaque uapi/bpf.h types meant for use in BPF programs. Similarly to other opaque types like bpf_spin_lock and bpf_rbtree_node, the verifier needs to know where in user-defined struct types a bpf_refcount can be located, so necessary btf_record plumbing is added to enable this. bpf_refcount is sized to hold a refcount_t. Similarly to bpf_spin_lock, the offset of a bpf_refcount is cached in btf_record as refcount_off in addition to being in the field array. Caching refcount_off makes sense for this field because further patches in the series will modify functions that take local kptrs (e.g. bpf_obj_drop) to change their behavior if the type they're operating on is refcounted. So enabling fast "is this type refcounted?" checks is desirable. No such verifier behavior changes are introduced in this patch, just logic to recognize 'struct bpf_refcount' in btf_record.
