Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 13/14] bpf: export function to write into verifier log buffer

From: Quentin Monnet <quentin.monnet@...ronome.com>

Rename the BPF verifier `verbose()` to `bpf_verifier_log_write()` and
export it, so that other components (in particular, drivers for BPF
offload) can reuse the user buffer log to dump error messages at
verification time.

Renaming `verbose()` was necessary in order to avoid a name so generic
to be exported to the global namespace. However to prevent too much pain
for backports, the calls to `verbose()` in the kernel BPF verifier were
not changed. Instead, add a `#define verbose bpf_verifier_log_write`.
Another solution could consist in making a wrapper around `verbose()`,
but since it is a variadic function, I don't see a clean way without
creating two identical wrappers, one for the verifier and one to export.
I opted for a simple #define for now.
