bpf: enable access to ax register also from verifier rewrite
Right now we are using BPF ax register in JIT for constant blinding as well as in interpreter as temporary variable. Verifier will not be able to use it simply because its use will get overridden from the former in bpf_jit_blind_insn(). However, it can be made to work in that blinding will be skipped if there is prior use in either source or destination register on the instruction. Taking constraints of ax into account, the verifier is then open to use it in rewrites under some constraints. Note, ax register already has mappings in every eBPF JIT.
