Luis Gerhorst f66b4aaff2 bpf: Remove redundant free_verifier_state()/pop_stack()
This patch removes duplicated code.

Eduard points out [1]:

    Same cleanup cycles are done in push_stack() and push_async_cb(),
    both functions are only reachable from do_check_common() via
    do_check() -> do_check_insn().

    Hence, I think that cur state should not be freed in push_*()
    functions and pop_stack() loop there is not needed.

This would also fix the 'symptom' for [2], but the issue also has a
simpler fix which was sent separately. This fix also makes sure the
push_*() callers always return an error for which
error_recoverable_with_nospec(err) is false. This is required because
otherwise we try to recover and access the stale `state`.

Moving free_verifier_state() and pop_stack(..., pop_log=false) to happen
after the bpf_vlog_reset() call in do_check_common() is fine because the
pop_stack() call that is moved does not call bpf_vlog_reset() with the
pop_log=false parameter.

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 reStructuredText 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.
