Since we already have an extensive BPF test suite, that is, lib/test_bpf.c,
which currently also does sanity checks for the classic BPF verifier, is
there a reason these verifier test cases cannot be extended/integrated there
as well but have to go to kernel/bpf/test_stub.c resp. samples/bpf/test_verifier.c ?
I don't like that we put testing code into kernel/bpf/ whereas we already
have a BPF test infrastructure in the kernel elsewhere.
