Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v2 2/3] bpf: Fix aux usage after do_check_insn()

We must terminate the speculative analysis if the just-analyzed insn had
nospec_result set. Using cur_aux() here is wrong because insn_idx might
have been incremented by do_check_insn(). Therefore, introduce and use
prev_aux().

Also change cur_aux(env)->nospec in case do_check_insn() ever manages to
increment insn_idx but still fail.

Change the warning to check the insn class (which prevents it from
triggering for ldimm64, for which nospec_result would not be
problematic) and use verifier_bug_if().

Fixes: d6f1c85f2253 ("bpf: Fall back to nospec for Spectre v1")
