bpf: Implement verifier support for validation of async callbacks.
bpf_for_each_map_elem() and bpf_timer_set_callback() helpers are relying on PTR_TO_FUNC infra in the verifier to validate addresses to subprograms and pass them into the helpers as function callbacks. In case of bpf_for_each_map_elem() the callback is invoked synchronously and the verifier treats it as a normal subprogram call by adding another bpf_func_state and new frame in __check_func_call(). bpf_timer_set_callback() doesn't invoke the callback directly. The subprogram will be called asynchronously from bpf_timer_cb(). Teach the verifier to validate such async callbacks as special kind of jump by pushing verifier state into stack and let pop_stack() process it. Special care needs to be taken during state pruning. The call insn doing bpf_timer_set_callback has to be a prune_point. Otherwise short timer callbacks might not have prune points in front of bpf_timer_set_callback() which means is_state_visited() will be called after this call insn is processed in __check_func_call(). Which means that another async_cb state will be pushed to be walked later and the verifier will eventually hit BPF_COMPLEXITY_LIMIT_JMP_SEQ limit. Since push_async_cb() looks like another push_stack() branch the infinite loop detection will trigger false positive. To recognize this case mark such states as in_async_callback_fn. To distinguish infinite loop in async callback vs the same callback called with different arguments for different map and timer add async_entry_cnt to bpf_func_state. Enforce return zero from async callbacks.
