PATCH 1/1 bpf: skip invalid kfunc call in backtrack_insn

The verifier skips invalid kfunc call in check_kfunc_call(), which would be captured in fixup_kfunc_call() if such insn is not eliminated by dead code elimination. However, this can lead to the following warning in backtrack_insn(), alse see [1]:

------------[ cut here ]------------
verifier backtracking bug
WARNING: CPU: 6 PID: 8646 at kernel/bpf/verifier.c:2756 backtrack_insn
kernel/bpf/verifier.c:2756

	do_check kernel/bpf/verifier.c:13821 [inline]
	do_check_common kernel/bpf/verifier.c:16289

...

So make backtracking conservative with this by returning ENOTSUPP.
