bpf: add per-insn complexity limit

[ commit ceefbc96fa5c5b975d87bf8e89ba8416f6b764d9 upstream ]

malicious bpf program may try to force the verifier to remember
a lot of distinct verifier states.
Put a limit to number of per-insn 'struct bpf_verifier_state'.
Note that hitting the limit doesn't reject the program.
It potentially makes the verifier do more steps to analyze the program.
It means that malicious programs will hit BPF_COMPLEXITY_LIMIT_INSNS sooner
instead of spending cpu time walking long link list.

The limit of BPF_COMPLEXITY_LIMIT_STATES==64 affects cilium progs
with slight increase in number of "steps" it takes to successfully verify
the programs:
                       before    after
bpf_lb-DLB_L3.o         1940      1940
bpf_lb-DLB_L4.o         3089      3089
bpf_lb-DUNKNOWN.o       1065      1065
bpf_lxc-DDROP_ALL.o     28052  |  28162
bpf_lxc-DUNKNOWN.o      35487  |  35541
bpf_netdev.o            10864     10864
bpf_overlay.o           6643      6643
bpf_lcx_jit.o           38437     38437

But it also makes malicious program to be rejected in 0.4 seconds vs 6.5
Hence apply this limit to unprivileged programs only.
