bpf: support 8-byte metafield access
BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1811080 commit cedaf52693f02372010548c63b2e63228b959099 upstream. The verifier supported only 4-byte metafields in struct __sk_buff and struct xdp_md. The metafields in upcoming struct bpf_perf_event are 8-byte to match register width in struct pt_regs. Teach verifier to recognize 8-byte metafield access. The patch doesn't affect safety of sockets and xdp programs. They check for 4-byte only ctx access before these conditions are hit.
