[PATCH 1/4][A] UBUNTU: SAUCE: bpf: reject out-of-bounds stack pointer calculation

From: Jann Horn <jannh at google.com>

Reject programs that compute wildly out-of-bounds stack pointers.
Otherwise, pointers can be computed with an offset that doesn't fit into an
`int`, causing security issues in the stack memory access check (as well as
signed integer overflow during offset addition).

This is a fix specifically for the v4.9 stable tree because the mainline
code looks very different at this point.
