There is a 128MB limit on BPF JIT program allocations; this is
to ensure BPF programs are in branching range of each other.
Patch 1 in this series removes this restriction. To verify
exception handling still works, a test case to validate
exception handling in BPF programs is added in patch 2.
There was previous discussion around this topic [1], in particular
would be good to get feedback from Daniel if this approach makes
sense.

Changes since v1:
- respin picked up changes in arm64 exception handling changes
which removed need for special BPF exception handling in patch 1
- made selftest use task creation/task_struct field instead to
minimize BPF selftests parallel runs, moved from CHECK()s
to ASSERT_*()s (Andrii, patch 2)
