This commit adds support for multiple consecutive and nested pointer
dereference of function arguments that should be converted to
bpf_probe_read. The logic works by marking variables as needing a
probe_read if they come from the register argument, and then applying
this property transitively.
Supported syntax:
Not supported: probe reads from map leaves, probe reads after explicit casts.
Fixes: #188
