[PATCH v8 bpf-next 7/9] bpf: introduce bpf_prog_pack allocator

Most BPF programs are small, but they consume a page each. For systems
with busy traffic and many BPF programs, this could add significant
pressure to instruction TLB.

Introduce bpf_prog_pack allocator to pack multiple BPF programs in a huge
page. The memory is then allocated in 64 byte chunks.

Memory allocated by bpf_prog_pack allocator is RO protected after initial
allocation. To write to it, the user (jit engine) need to use text poke
API.
