bpf, verifier: Remove side effects from may_access_direct_pkt_data

The may_access_direct_pkt_data() helper sets env->seen_direct_write as a
side effect, which creates awkward calling patterns:

- check_special_kfunc() has a comment warning readers about the side effect
- specialize_kfunc() must save and restore the flag around the call

Make the helper a pure function by moving the seen_direct_write flag
setting to call sites that need it.
