bpf: Check global subprog exception paths
Global subprogs are verified independently and are not descended into
when their callers are symbolically executed. This means a caller can
hold references or locks across a global subprog call that may throw,
while the verifier only checks the non-exceptional return path at the
call site.
Record whether a subprog might throw in the CFG summary pass, alongside
the existing might_sleep and packet-data-changing summaries, and
propagate that effect through reachable callees.
When a global subprog is marked as possibly throwing, push the normal
continuation and validate the exceptional path immediately at the call
site, avoiding a synthetic exception state and associated special case
in the pruning checks.
