--------------------------
The KF_TRUSTED_ARGS flag is used for kfuncs taking pointer arguments. It
-indicates that the all pointer arguments will always be refcounted, and have
-their offset set to 0. It can be used to enforce that a pointer to a refcounted
-object acquired from a kfunc or BPF helper is passed as an argument to this
-kfunc without any modifications (e.g. pointer arithmetic) such that it is
-trusted and points to the original object. This flag is often used for kfuncs
-that operate (change some property, perform some operation) on an object that
-was obtained using an acquire kfunc. Such kfuncs need an unchanged pointer to
-ensure the integrity of the operation being performed on the expected object.
