bpf: extract check_global_subprog_return_code() for clarity

Browse source

From: Eduard Zingerman <eddyz87@gmail.com>

Both main progs and subprogs use the same function in the verifier,
check_return_code, to verify the type and value range of the register
being returned. However, subprogs only need a subset of the logic in
check_return_code. this also goes the way - check_return_code explicitly
checks whether it is handling a subprogram in multiple places, complicating
the logic. Separate the handling of the two into separate functions.
