[ Upstream commit a5bebc4f00dee47113eed48098c68e88b5ba70e8 ]

Commit bfc6bb74e4f1 ("bpf: Implement verifier support for validation of async callbacks.")
added support for BPF_FUNC_timer_set_callback to
the __check_func_call() function. The test in __check_func_call() is
flaweed because it can mis-interpret a regular BPF-to-BPF pseudo-call
as a BPF_FUNC_timer_set_callback callback call.

Consider the conditional in the code:

if (insn->code == (BPF_JMP | BPF_CALL) &&
insn->imm == BPF_FUNC_timer_set_callback) {

The BPF_FUNC_timer_set_callback has value 170. This means that if you
have a BPF program that contains a pseudo-call with an instruction delta
of 170, this conditional will be found to be true by the verifier, and
it will interpret the pseudo-call as a callback. This leads to a mess
with the verification of the program because it makes the wrong
assumptions about the nature of this call.

Solution: include an explicit check to ensure that insn->src_reg == 0.
This ensures that calls cannot be mis-interpreted as an async callback
call.
