the verifier got progressively smarter over time and size of its internal
state grew as well. Time to reduce the memory consumption.
Before:
sizeof(struct bpf_verifier_state) = 6520
After:
sizeof(struct bpf_verifier_state) = 896
It's done by observing that majority of BPF programs use little to
no stack whereas verifier kept all of 512 stack slots ready always.
Instead dynamically reallocate struct verifier state when stack
access is detected.
Runtime difference before vs after is within a noise.
The number of processed instructions stays the same.
