Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 1/1] bpf: Allow fall back to interpreter for programs with stack size <= 512

OpenWRT users reported regression on ARMv6 devices after updating to latest
HEAD, where tcpdump filter:

tcpdump -i mon1 \
"not wlan addr3 3c37121a2b3c and not wlan addr2 184ecbca2a3a \
and not wlan addr2 14130b4d3f47 and not wlan addr2 f0f61cf440b7 \
and not wlan addr3 a84b4dedf471 and not wlan addr3 d022be17e1d7 \
and not wlan addr3 5c497967208b and not wlan addr2 706655784d5b"

fails with warning: "Kernel filter failed: No error information"
when using config:
 # CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON is not set
 CONFIG_BPF_JIT_DEFAULT_ON=y

The issue arises because commits:
1. "bpf: Fix array bounds error with may_goto" changed default runtime to
   __bpf_prog_ret0_warn when jit_requested = 1
2. "bpf: Avoid __bpf_prog_ret0_warn when jit fails" returns error when
   jit_requested = 1 but jit fails

This change restores interpreter fallback capability for BPF programs with
stack size <= 512 bytes when jit fails.

Reported-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@....name>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/2e267b4b-0540-45d8-9310-e127bf95fc63@nbd.name/
Fixes: 6ebc5030e0c5 ("bpf: Fix array bounds error with may_goto")
Fixes: 86bc9c742426 ("bpf: Avoid __bpf_prog_ret0_warn when jit fails")
