Merge branch 'Improvements for BPF_ST tracking by verifier '

====================

This patch-set is a part of preparation work for -mcpu=v4 option for
BPF C compiler (discussed in [1]). Among other things -mcpu=v4 should
enable generation of BPF_ST instruction by the compiler.

- Patches #1,2 adjust verifier to track values of constants written to
  stack using BPF_ST. Currently these are tracked imprecisely, unlike
  the writes using BPF_STX, e.g.:

    fp[-8] = 42;   currently verifier assumes that fp[-8]=mmmmmmmm
                   after such instruction, where m stands for "misc",
                   just a note that something is written at fp[-8].

    r1 = 42;       verifier tracks r1=42 after this instruction.
    fp[-8] = r1;   verifier tracks fp[-8]=42 after this instruction.

  This patch makes both cases equivalent.

- Patches #3,4 adjust verifier.c:check_stack_write_fixed_off() to
  preserve STACK_ZERO marks when BPF_ST writes zero. Currently these
  are replaced by STACK_MISC, unlike zero writes using BPF_STX, e.g.:

    ... stack range [X,Y] is marked as STACK_ZERO ...
    r0 = ... variable offset pointer to stack with range [X,Y] ...

    fp[r0] = 0;    currently verifier marks range [X,Y] as
                   STACK_MISC for such instructions.

    r1 = 0;
    fp[r0] = r1;   verifier keeps STACK_ZERO marks for range [X,Y].

  This patch makes both cases equivalent.

Motivating example for patch #1 could be found at [3].

Previous version of the patch-set is here [2], the changes are:
- Explicit initialization of fake register parent link is removed from
  verifier.c:check_stack_write_fixed_off() as parent links are now
  correctly handled by verifier.c:save_register_state().
- Original patch #1 is split in patches #1 & #3.
- Missing test case added for patch #3
  verifier.c:check_stack_write_fixed_off() adjustment.
- Test cases are updated to use .prog_type = BPF_PROG_TYPE_SK_LOOKUP,
  which requires return value to be in the range [0,1] (original test
  cases assumed that such range is always required, which is not true).
- Original patch #3 with changes allowing BPF_ST writes to context is
  withheld for now, w/o compiler support for BPF_ST it requires some
  creative testing.
- Original patch #5 is removed from the patch-set. This patch
  contained adjustments to expected verifier error messages in some
  tests, necessary when C compiler generates BPF_ST instruction
  instead of BPF_STX (changes to expected instruction indices). These
  changes are not necessary yet.
