[PATCH v7 00/10] bpf: bug fixes

BPF related fixes mostly related to JIT.

The arm64 BPF JIT did not implement BPF_LD | BPF_ABS or BPF_LD | BPF_IND,
so cBPF filters converted by rte_bpf_convert() could not be JIT compiled
and silently fell back to the interpreter on arm64.

The first patch fixes a latent bug in emit_return_zero_if_src_zero():
the offset of the branch to the epilogue was held in an unsigned.
A backward branch wrapped around. Existing JIT tests were never
being run on ARM.

The next two patches make the bpf tests assert that,
on an architecture with a JITbackend, code is actually generated,
so a missing or failed JIT is reported rather than skipped.

The final patch adds the ABS/IND opcodes, mirroring the x86 JIT
with a fast path for data in the first
mbuf segment and a __rte_pktmbuf_read() slow path for the rest.
