[PATCH bpf-next 1/2] arm64/bpf: remove 128MB limit for BPF JIT programs

commit 91fc957c9b1d ("arm64/bpf: don't allocate BPF JIT programs in module memory")

...restricts BPF JIT program allocation to a 128MB region to ensure
BPF programs are still in branching range of each other.  However
this restriction should not apply to the aarch64 JIT, since
BPF_JMP | BPF_CALL are implemented as a 64-bit move into a register
and then a BLR instruction - which has the effect of being able to call
anything without proximity limitation.  Removing the contiguous JIT
region requires explicitly searching the bpf exception tables first
in fixup_exception(), since they are formatted differently from
the rest of the exception tables.  Previously we used the fact that
the JIT memory was contiguous to identify the fact that the context
for the exception (the program counter) is a BPF program.

The practical reason to relax this restriction on JIT memory is that 128MB
of JIT memory can be quickly exhausted, especially where PAGE_SIZE is 64KB -
one page is needed per program.  In cases where seccomp filters are applied
to multiple VMs on VM launch - such filters are classic BPF but converted to
BPF - this can severely limit the number of VMs that can be launched.  In a
world where we support BPF JIT always on, turning off the JIT isn't always
an option either.
