Dmitry, thanks a lot for applying syzkaller to bpf. The issues
got cought much sooner than they would have been discovered otherwise.
Looks like the fuzzing has limited dependency chains described
in sys/sys.txt. Can they be improved into doing something like:
single call to map_create followed by many calls to update to
stress oom ? I did it manually so far without kasan.

Daniel, thanks for the fix. Commit log is all good.
