bpf: use check_ids() for active_lock comparison

An update for verifier.c:states_equal()/regsafe() to use check_ids()
for active spin lock comparisons. This fixes the issue reported by
Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi in [1] using technique suggested by Edward Cree.

W/o this commit the verifier might be tricked to accept the following
program working with a map containing spin locks:

  0: r9 = map_lookup_elem(...)  ; Returns PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE_OR_NULL id=1.
  1: r8 = map_lookup_elem(...)  ; Returns PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE_OR_NULL id=2.
  2: if r9 == 0 goto exit       ; r9 -> PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE.
  3: if r8 == 0 goto exit       ; r8 -> PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE.
  4: r7 = ktime_get_ns()        ; Unbound SCALAR_VALUE.
  5: r6 = ktime_get_ns()        ; Unbound SCALAR_VALUE.
  6: bpf_spin_lock(r8)          ; active_lock.id == 2.
  7: if r6 > r7 goto +1         ; No new information about the state
                                ; is derived from this check, thus
                                ; produced verifier states differ only
                                ; in 'insn_idx'.
  8: r9 = r8                    ; Optionally make r9.id == r8.id.
  --- checkpoint ---            ; Assume is_state_visisted() creates a
                                ; checkpoint here.
  9: bpf_spin_unlock(r9)        ; (a,b) active_lock.id == 2.
                                ; (a) r9.id == 2, (b) r9.id == 1.
 10: exit(0)

Consider two verification paths:
(a) 0-10
(b) 0-7,9-10

The path (a) is verified first. If checkpoint is created at (8)
the (b) would assume that (8) is safe because regsafe() does not
compare register ids for registers of type PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE.
