Arnd Bergmann reported an issue ([1]) where clang compiler (less than
llvm18) may trigger an error where the stack frame size exceeds the limit.
I can reproduce the error like below:
   kernel/bpf/verifier.c:24491:5: error: stack frame size (2552) exceeds limit (1280) in 'bpf_check'
       [-Werror,-Wframe-larger-than]
   kernel/bpf/verifier.c:19921:12: error: stack frame size (1368) exceeds limit (1280) in 'do_check'
       [-Werror,-Wframe-larger-than]

Use env->insn_buf for bpf insns instead of putting these insns on the
stack. This can resolve the above 'bpf_check' error. The 'do_check' error
will be resolved in the next patch.

Nit: I'd add a comment here, something along the lines:
      "use env->insn_buf as two independent buffers"

Ack. Sounds a good idea.


  	struct bpf_insn_aux_data *aux = env->insn_aux_data;
  	int i, patch_len, delta = 0, len = env->prog->len;
  	struct bpf_insn *insns = env->prog->insnsi;
