bpf: allow adjusted map element values to spill
commit 484611357c19 ("bpf: allow access into map value arrays") introduces the ability to do pointer math inside a map element value via the PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE_ADJ register type. The current support doesn't handle the case where a PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE_ADJ is spilled into the stack, limiting several use cases, especially when generating bpf code from a compiler. Handle this case by explicitly enabling the register type PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE_ADJ to be spilled. Also, make sure that min_value and max_value are reset just for BPF_LDX operations that don't result in a restore of a spilled register from stack.
