bpf: split bpf core interpreter

split __bpf_prog_run() interpreter into stack allocation and execution parts.
The code section shrinks which helps interpreter performance in some cases.

Very short programs got slower (due to extra function call):
Before:
test_bpf: #89 ALU64_ADD_K: 1 + 2 = 3 jited:0 7 PASS
test_bpf: #90 ALU64_ADD_K: 3 + 0 = 3 jited:0 8 PASS
test_bpf: #91 ALU64_ADD_K: 1 + 2147483646 = 2147483647 jited:0 7 PASS
test_bpf: #92 ALU64_ADD_K: 4294967294 + 2 = 4294967296 jited:0 11 PASS
test_bpf: #93 ALU64_ADD_K: 2147483646 + -2147483647 = -1 jited:0 7 PASS
After:
test_bpf: #89 ALU64_ADD_K: 1 + 2 = 3 jited:0 11 PASS
test_bpf: #90 ALU64_ADD_K: 3 + 0 = 3 jited:0 11 PASS
test_bpf: #91 ALU64_ADD_K: 1 + 2147483646 = 2147483647 jited:0 11 PASS
test_bpf: #92 ALU64_ADD_K: 4294967294 + 2 = 4294967296 jited:0 14 PASS
test_bpf: #93 ALU64_ADD_K: 2147483646 + -2147483647 = -1 jited:0 10 PASS

Longer programs got faster:
Before:
test_bpf: #266 BPF_MAXINSNS: Ctx heavy transformations jited:0 20286 20513 PASS
test_bpf: #267 BPF_MAXINSNS: Call heavy transformations jited:0 31853 31768 PASS
test_bpf: #268 BPF_MAXINSNS: Jump heavy test jited:0 9815 PASS
test_bpf: #269 BPF_MAXINSNS: Very long jump backwards jited:0 6 PASS
test_bpf: #270 BPF_MAXINSNS: Edge hopping nuthouse jited:0 13959 PASS
test_bpf: #271 BPF_MAXINSNS: Jump, gap, jump, ... jited:0 210 PASS
test_bpf: #272 BPF_MAXINSNS: ld_abs+get_processor_id jited:0 21724 PASS
test_bpf: #273 BPF_MAXINSNS: ld_abs+vlan_push/pop jited:0 19118 PASS
After:
test_bpf: #266 BPF_MAXINSNS: Ctx heavy transformations jited:0 19008 18827 PASS
test_bpf: #267 BPF_MAXINSNS: Call heavy transformations jited:0 29238 28450 PASS
test_bpf: #268 BPF_MAXINSNS: Jump heavy test jited:0 9485 PASS
test_bpf: #269 BPF_MAXINSNS: Very long jump backwards jited:0 12 PASS
test_bpf: #270 BPF_MAXINSNS: Edge hopping nuthouse jited:0 13257 PASS
test_bpf: #271 BPF_MAXINSNS: Jump, gap, jump, ... jited:0 213 PASS
test_bpf: #272 BPF_MAXINSNS: ld_abs+get_processor_id jited:0 19389 PASS
test_bpf: #273 BPF_MAXINSNS: ld_abs+vlan_push/pop jited:0 19583 PASS

For real world production programs the difference is noise.

This patch is first step towards reducing interpreter stack consumption.
