bpf, mips: Validate conditional branch offsets



The conditional branch instructions on MIPS use 18-bit signed offsets
allowing for a branch range of 128 KBytes (backward and forward).
However, this limit is not observed by the cBPF JIT compiler, and so
the JIT compiler emits out-of-range branches when translating certain
cBPF programs. A specific example of such a cBPF program is included in
the "BPF_MAXINSNS: exec all MSH" test from lib/test_bpf.c that executes
anomalous machine code containing incorrect branch offsets under JIT.

Furthermore, this issue can be abused to craft undesirable machine
code, where the control flow is hijacked to execute arbitrary Kernel
code.

The following steps can be used to reproduce the issue:

  # echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_enable
  # modprobe test_bpf test_name="BPF_MAXINSNS: exec all MSH"

This should produce multiple warnings from build_bimm() similar to:

To mitigate this issue, we assert the branch ranges for each emit call
that could generate an out-of-range branch.
