bpf: Fix a kernel verifier crash in stacksafe()

Daniel Hodges reported a kernel verifier crash when playing with sched-ext. Further investigation shows that the crash is due to invalid memory access in stacksafe(). More specifically, it is the following code:

if (exact != NOT_EXACT &amp;&amp;
    old-&gt;stack[spi].slot_type[i % BPF_REG_SIZE] !=
    cur-&gt;stack[spi].slot_type[i % BPF_REG_SIZE])
        return false;

The 'i' iterates old->allocated_stack. If cur->allocated_stack < old->allocated_stack the out-of-bound access will happen.

To fix the issue add 'i >= cur->allocated_stack' check such that if the condition is true, stacksafe() should fail. Otherwise, cur->stack[spi].slot_type[i % BPF_REG_SIZE] memory access is legal.
