Subject: [PATCH v2] bpf: Remove unnecessary assertion on fp_old

The two callers of bpf_prog_realloc - bpf_patch_insn_single and
bpf_migrate_filter dereference the struct fp_old, before passing
it to the function. Thus assertion to check fp_old is unnecessary
and can be removed.

v1: Remove the check on fp_old altogether, as suggested by
Daniel Borkmann and Alexei Starovoitov.
