bpf: fix bpf_jit_limit knob for PAGE_SIZE >= 64K
Michael and Sandipan report: Commit ede95a63 introduced a bpf_jit_limit tuneable to limit BPF JIT allocations. At compile time it defaults to PAGE_SIZE * 40000, and is adjusted again at init time if MODULES_VADDR is defined. For ppc64 kernels, MODULES_VADDR isn't defined, so we're stuck with the compile-time default at boot-time, which is 0x9c400000 when using 64K page size. This overflows the signed 32-bit bpf_jit_limit value: root@ubuntu:/tmp# cat /proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_limit -1673527296 and can cause various unexpected failures throughout the network stack. In one case `strace dhclient eth0` reported: setsockopt(5, SOL_SOCKET, SO_ATTACH_FILTER, {len=11, filter=0x105dd27f8}, 16) = -1 ENOTSUPP (Unknown error 524) and similar failures can be seen with tools like tcpdump. This doesn't always reproduce however, and I'm not sure why. The more consistent failure I've seen is an Ubuntu 18.04 KVM guest booted...
