Subject: [PATCH net] bpf: fix verifier memory corruption

Due to missing bounds check the DAG pass of the BPF verifier can corrupt
the memory which can cause random crashes during program loading:

Many things need to align for this crash to be seen, yet I managed to hit it.
In my case JA was last insn, 't' was 255 and explored_states array
had 256 elements. I've double checked other similar paths and all seems clean.
