net: filter: get rid of BPF_S_* enum
This patch finally allows us to get rid of the BPF_S_* enum. Currently, the code performs unnecessary encode and decode workarounds in seccomp and filter migration itself when a filter is being attached in order to overcome BPF_S_* encoding which is not used anymore by the new interpreter resp. JIT compilers. Keeping it around would mean that also in future we would need to extend and maintain this enum and related encoders/decoders. We can get rid of all that and save us these operations during filter attaching. Naturally, also JIT compilers need to be updated by this. Before JIT conversion is being done, each compiler checks if A is being loaded at startup to obtain information if it needs to emit instructions to clear A first. Since BPF extensions are a subset of BPF_LD | BPF_{W,H,B} | BPF_ABS variants, case statements for extensions can be removed at that point. To ease and minimalize code changes in the classic JITs, we have introduced bpf_anc_helper(). Tested with test_bpf on x86_64 (JIT, int), s390x (JIT, int), arm (JIT, int), i368 (int), ppc64 (JIT, int); for sparc we unfortunately didn't have access, but changes are analogous to the rest. Joint work with Alexei Starovoitov.
