[PATCH bpf-next 3/3] bpf: Print some info if disable bpf_jit_enable failed

[Tiezhu Yang]

A user told me that bpf_jit_enable can be disabled on one system, but he
failed to disable bpf_jit_enable on the other system:

  # echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_enable
  bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument

No useful info is available through the dmesg log, a quick analysis shows
that the issue is related with CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON.

When CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON is enabled, bpf_jit_enable is permanently set
to 1 and setting any other value than that will return failure.

It is better to print some info to tell the user if disable bpf_jit_enable
failed.
