The upstream stable release process allow fixes to the bpf verifier without
requiring that the bpf test_verifier selftest still PASS.
That is very unfortunate to our testing process, as we want to make sure we
don't introduce regressions ourselves.
Instead of blindly accepting any failures, I took the path of looking at the
test changes upstream. Clean cherry picks were not always possible, so, in some
cases, I decided to go failure by failure, and fixing up the test with a change
that was already present upstream.
That will make cherry picks even harder in the future, but that's the cost of
maintaining something upstream doesn't care about.
