LLVM commit https://reviews.llvm.org/D143726

 introduced hoistMinMax optimization
that transformed
  (i < VIRTIO_MAX_SGS) && (i < out_sgs)
into
  i < MIN(VIRTIO_MAX_SGS, out_sgs)

and caused the verifier to stop recognizing such loop as bounded.

Which resulted in the following test failure:

libbpf: prog 'trace_virtqueue_add_sgs': BPF program load failed: Bad address
libbpf: prog 'trace_virtqueue_add_sgs': -- BEGIN PROG LOAD LOG --
The sequence of 8193 jumps is too complex.
verification time 789206 usec
stack depth 56
processed 156446 insns (limit 1000000) max_states_per_insn 7 total_states 1746 peak_states 1701 mark_read 12
-- END PROG LOAD LOG --
libbpf: prog 'trace_virtqueue_add_sgs': failed to load: -14
libbpf: failed to load object 'loop6.bpf.o'

Workaround the verifier limitation for now with inline asm that
prevents this particular optimization.
