WARNING in bpf_bprintf_prepare

[Hao Sun]

Hi,

The following warning can be triggered with the C reproducer in the link.
Syzbot also reported this several days ago, Jiri posted a patch that
uses bpf prog `active` field to fix this by 05b24ff9b2cfab (bpf:
Prevent bpf program recursion...) according to syzbot dashboard
(https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=179313fb375161d50a98311a28b8e2fc5f7350f9).
But this warning can still be triggered on 247f34f7b803
(Linux-v6.1-rc2) that already merged the patch, so it seems that this
still is an issue.
