bpf, x86: Fix exception table metadata for arena load-acquire

A load-acquire from an arena pointer is converted to BPF_PROBE_ATOMIC and
gets an exception table entry, but the entry is filled in as if it were a
store, since populate_extable() decides based on instruction class alone
and a load-acquire is of BPF_STX class:

  if (BPF_CLASS(insn->code) == BPF_LDX) {
      arena_reg = reg2pt_regs[src_reg];
      fixup_reg = reg2pt_regs[dst_reg];
  } else {
      arena_reg = reg2pt_regs[dst_reg];
      fixup_reg = DONT_CLEAR;
  }

For a load-acquire dst_reg holds the loaded value and src_reg holds the
address, so both assignments in the else branch are wrong. On a fault
over an unmapped arena page ex_handler_bpf() then:

  - computes the reported address from the value register instead
    of the address register
  - reports the access as a WRITE, since it derives the direction
    from fixup_reg == DONT_CLEAR
  - leaves dst_reg untouched, so the program continues with a stale
    value instead of the 0 that BPF_PROBE_* loads deliver

The access itself is emitted correctly, emit_atomic_ld_st_index() uses
src_reg as the address, so this is a broken probe contract and a wrong
diagnostic rather than a memory safety issue.

Use bpf_atomic_is_load_acq() helper so a load-acquire takes the load path.
