Add check to ensure that ARG_PTR_TO_MEM is used with either MEM_WRITE or
MEM_RDONLY.

Using ARG_PTR_TO_MEM alone without tags does not make sense because:

- If the helper does not change the argument, missing MEM_RDONLY causes the
verifier to incorrectly reject a read-only buffer.
- If the helper does change the argument, missing MEM_WRITE causes the
verifier to incorrectly assume the memory is unchanged, leading to errors
in code optimization.
