bpf: Make verifier log more relevant by default
To make BPF verifier verbose log more releavant and easier to use to debug verification failures, "pop" parts of log that were successfully verified. This has effect of leaving only verifier logs that correspond to code branches that lead to verification failure, which in practice should result in much shorter and more relevant verifier log dumps. This behavior is made the default behavior and can be overriden to do exhaustive logging by specifying BPF_LOG_LEVEL2 log level. Using BPF_LOG_LEVEL2 to disable this behavior is not ideal, because in some cases it's good to have BPF_LOG_LEVEL2 per-instruction register dump verbosity, but still have only relevant verifier branches logged. But for this patch, I didn't want to add any new flags. It might be worth-while to just rethink how BPF verifier logging is performed and requested and streamline it a bit. But this trimming of successfully verified branches seems to be useful and a good default behavior. To test this, I modified runqslower slightly to introduce read of uninitialized stack variable.

On success, verbose log will only have a summary of number of processed instructions, etc, but no branch tracing log. Having just a last succesful branch tracing seemed weird and confusing. Having small and clean summary log in success case seems quite logical and nice, though.
