bpf: alloc_prog_pack(): Skip ROX management for already ROX memory

Browse source

execmem_alloc() can return ROX memory that is already filled with
architecture defined trapping instructions.

In preparation for enabling this mode for BPF on x86, make sure that there
is no redundant management of the ROX memory.

There is no need to fill allocated memory with trapping instructions, to
request permissions reset on free and to set ROX permissions as this all
is handled by execmem_alloc().

Add bpf_jit_mem_is_rox() wrapper for execmem_is_rox(), use it to check if
execmem_alloc() returns ROX memory and skip the redundant steps in that
case.
