bpf: Fix record_func_key to perform backtracking on r3
While testing Cilium with /unreleased/ Linus' tree under BPF-based NodePort implementation, I noticed a strange BPF SNAT engine behavior from time to time. In some cases it would do the correct SNAT/DNAT service translation, but at a random point in time it would just stop and perform an unexpected translation after SYN, SYN/ACK and stack would send a RST back. While initially assuming that there is some sort of a race condition in BPF code, adding trace_printk()s for debugging purposes at some point seemed to have resolved the issue auto-magically. Digging deeper on this Heisenbug and reducing the trace_printk() calls to an absolute minimum, it turns out that a single call would suffice to trigger / not trigger the seen RST issue, even though the logic of the program itself remains unchanged. Turns out the single call changed verifier pruning behavior to get everything to work. Reconstructing a minimal test case, the incorrect JIT dump looked as fol...
