[PATCH v2 5/8] bpf: Avoid copying the entire BPF program when hashing it

[Andy Lutomirski]

The sha256 helpers can consume a message incrementally, so there's no need
to allocate a buffer to store the whole blob to be hashed.

This may be a slight slowdown for very long messages because gcc can't
inline the sha256_update() calls.  For reasonably-sized programs,
however, this should be a considerable speedup as vmalloc() is quite
slow.
