classic BPF has a restriction that last insn is always BPF_RET.
eBPF doesn't have BPF_RET instruction and this restriction.
It has BPF_EXIT insn which can appear anywhere in the program
one or more times and it doesn't have to be last insn.
Fix eBPF JIT to emit epilogue when first BPF_EXIT is seen
and all other BPF_EXIT instructions will be emitted as jump.

Note, this bug is applicable only to native eBPF programs
which first were introduced in 3.18, so no need to send it
to stable and therefore no 'Fixes' tag.

Btw, even if it's not sent to -stable, a 'Fixes:' tag is useful
information for backporting and regression tracking, preferably
always mentioned where it can clearly be identified.

arm64 JIT has the same problem, but the fix is not as trivial,
so will be done as separate patch.

Since 3.18 can only load eBPF programs and cannot execute them,
this patch can even be done in net-next only, but I think it's worth
to apply it to 3.18(net), so that JITed output for native eBPF
programs is correct when bpf syscall loads it with net.core.bpf_jit_enable=2

Yes, sounds good to me, the condition insn_cnt - 1 is still held
with BPF to eBPF transformations.

Why this type change here? This seems a bit out of context (I would
have expected a mention of this in the commit message, otherwise).
