bpf: Preserve R0 lineage across helper calls

Browse source

check_helper_call() clears all caller-saved registers before taking the
diagnostic snapshot of R0. This records NOT_INIT as the old state for every
helper return and loses the lineage of the value held in R0 before the call.
bpf_diag_record_caller_saved() deliberately skips R0 because the paired
modification scope is responsible for it.

Open the R0 modification scope before clearing caller-saved registers,
matching the kfunc, ld_abs, and subprogram call paths.
