The description of full helper calls in syzkaller [1] and the addition of
kernel warnings in commit 0df1a55afa83 ("bpf: Warn on internal verifier
errors") allowed syzbot to reach a verifier state that was thought to
indicate a verifier bug [2]:

    12: (85) call bpf_tcp_raw_gen_syncookie_ipv4#204
    verifier bug: more than one arg with ref_obj_id R2 2 2

This error can be reproduced with the program from the previous commit:

    0: (b7) r2 = 20
    1: (b7) r3 = 0
    2: (18) r1 = 0xffff92cee3cbc600
    4: (85) call bpf_ringbuf_reserve#131
    5: (55) if r0 == 0x0 goto pc+3
    6: (bf) r1 = r0
    7: (bf) r2 = r0
    8: (85) call bpf_tcp_raw_gen_syncookie_ipv4#204
    9: (95) exit

bpf_tcp_raw_gen_syncookie_ipv4 expects R1 and R2 to be
ARG_PTR_TO_FIXED_SIZE_MEM (with a size of at least sizeof(struct iphdr)
for R1). R0 is a ring buffer payload of 20B and therefore matches this
requirement.

The verifier reaches the check on ref_obj_id while verifying R2 and
rejects the program because the helper isn't supposed to take two
referenced arguments.

This case is a legitimate rejection and doesn't indicate a kernel bug,
so we shouldn't log it as such and shouldn't emit a kernel warning.
