nfp: bpf: flag jump destination to guide insn combine optimizations

NFP eBPF offload JIT engine is doing some instruction combine based
optimizations which however must not be safe if the combined sequences
are across basic block boarders.

Currently, there are post checks during fixing jump destinations. If the
jump destination is found to be eBPF insn that has been combined into
another one, then JIT engine will raise error and abort.

This is not optimal. The JIT engine ought to disable the optimization on
such cross-bb-border sequences instead of abort.

As there is no control flow information in eBPF infrastructure that we
can't do basic block based optimizations, this patch extends the existing
jump destination record pass to also flag the jump destination, then in
instruction combine passes we could skip the optimizations if insns in the
sequence are jump targets.
