Subject: bpf: fix state equivalence

From: Alexei Starovoitov <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit d2a4dd37f6b41fbcad76efbf63124eb3126c66fe ]

Commmits 57a09bf0a416 ("bpf: Detect identical PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE_OR_NULL registers") and 484611357c19 ("bpf: allow access into map value arrays") by themselves are correct, but in combination they make state equivalence ignore 'id' field of the register state which can lead to accepting invalid program.

Fixes 57a09bf0a416 ("bpf: Detect identical PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE_OR_NULL registers")
Fixes 484611357c19 ("bpf: allow access into map value arrays")
