bpf: Disallow interpreter fallback for BPF_ADDR_PERCPU insn

Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

bpf: Disallow interpreter fallback for BPF_ADDR_PERCPU insn

The BPF_MOV64_PERCPU_REG insn requires JIT to emit native code to for
'dst_reg = src_reg + <percpu_base_off>'.

However, the interpreter ignores the 'off' at its ALU64_MOV_X label.
The 'off' indicates the insn is BPF_MOV64_PERCPU_REG insn. Then, when
the interpreter loads memory from the register, it will hit a page
fault.

[ 2.545572] BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffffffacaaf034
[ 2.546485] #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode
[ 2.547167] #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page
[ 2.547850] PGD 134e63067 P4D 134e63067 PUD 134e64063 PMD 10021c063 PTE 800ffffeca550062
[ 2.548912] Oops: Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI

Set jit_required as true in order to disallow interpreter fallback in
core.c::__bpf_prog_select_runtime(), if any BPF_ADDR_PERCPU insn is
patched to the prog.

BTW, rename the helper bpf_map_supports_cpu_flags() to
bpf_map_is_percpu_map().
