[PATCH 4.19 127/293] bpf/verifier: per-register parent pointers

From: Edward Cree ecree@solarflare.com

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.
