bpf/verifier: per-register parent pointers

commit 679c782de14bd48c19dd74cd1af20a2bc05dd936 upstream.

By giving each register its own liveness chain, we elide the skip_callee()
 logic.  Instead, each register's parent is the state it inherits from;
 both check_func_call() and prepare_func_exit() automatically connect
 reg states to the correct chain since when they copy the reg state across
 (r1-r5 into the callee as args, and r0 out as the return value) they also
 copy the parent pointer.
