Alexei Starovoitov 86fc6ee6e2 bpf: Relax verifier recursion check.
In the following bpf subprogram:
static int timer_cb(void *map, void *key, void *value)
{
    bpf_timer_set_callback(.., timer_cb);
}

the 'timer_cb' is a pointer to a function.
ld_imm64 insn is used to carry this pointer.
bpf_pseudo_func() returns true for such ld_imm64 insn.

Unlike bpf_for_each_map_elem() the bpf_timer_set_callback() is asynchronous.
Relax control flow check to allow such "recursion" that is seen as an infinite
loop by check_cfg(). The distinction between bpf_for_each_map_elem() the
bpf_timer_set_callback() is done in the follow up patch.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
