Since BPF constant blinding is performed after the verifier pass, there
are certain ALU32 instructions inserted which don't have a corresponding
zext instruction inserted after. This is causing a kernel oops on
powerpc and can be reproduced by running 'test_cgroup_storage' with
bpf_jit_harden=2.

Fix this by emitting BPF_ZEXT during constant blinding if
prog->aux->verifier_zext is set.

This approach (the location where zext is being introduced below, in 
particular) works for powerpc, but I am not entirely sure if this is 
sufficient for other architectures as well. This is broken on v5.3-rc4.

Alexie, Daniel, Jiong,
Any feedback on this?

The fix on BPF_LD | BPF_IMM | BPF_DW looks correct to me, but the two other
places looks to me is unnecessary, as those destinations are exposed to
external and if they are used as 64-bit then there will be zext inserted
for them.

Have you verified removing those two fixes will still cause the bug?

Regards,
Jiong
