Subject: bpf: improve verifier packet range checks

From: Alexei Starovoitov <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit b1977682a3858b5584ffea7cfb7bd863f68db18d ]

llvm can optimize the 'if (ptr > data_end)' checks to be in the order slightly different than the original C code which will confuse verifier. Like:
if (ptr + 16 > data_end)
return TC_ACT_SHOT;
// may be followed by
if (ptr + 14 > data_end)
return TC_ACT_SHOT;
while llvm can see that 'ptr' is valid for all 16 bytes,
the verifier could not.
Fix verifier logic to account for such case and add a test.
