bpf: Add dynptr data slices

This patch adds a new helper function

void *bpf_dynptr_data(struct bpf_dynptr *ptr, u32 offset, u32 len);

which returns a pointer to the underlying data of a dynptr. *len*
must be a statically known value. The bpf program may access the returned
data slice as a normal buffer (eg can do direct reads and writes), since
the verifier associates the length with the returned pointer, and
enforces that no out of bounds accesses occur.
