It is safe to always start with imprecise SCALAR_VALUE register. Previously __mark_reg_const_zero() relied on caller to reset precise mark, but it's very error prone and we already missed it in a few places. So instead make __mark_reg_const_zero() reset precision always, as it's a safe default for SCALAR_VALUE. Explanation is basically the same as for why we are resetting (or rather not setting) precision in current state. If necessary, precision propagation will set it to precise correctly. As such, also remove a big comment about forward precision propagation in mark_reg_stack_read() and avoid unnecessarily setting precision to true after reading from STACK_ZERO stack. Again, precision propagation will correctly handle this, if that SCALAR_VALUE register will ever be needed to be precise.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
