bpf: Relax verifier recursion check.
In the following bpf subprogram: static int timer_cb(void *map, void *key, void *value) { bpf_timer_set_callback(.., timer_cb); } the 'timer_cb' is a pointer to a function. ld_imm64 insn is used to carry this pointer. bpf_pseudo_func() returns true for such ld_imm64 insn. Unlike bpf_for_each_map_elem() the bpf_timer_set_callback() is asynchronous. Relax control flow check to allow such "recursion" that is seen as an infinite loop by check_cfg(). The distinction between bpf_for_each_map_elem() the bpf_timer_set_callback() is done in the follow up patch.
