[PATCH net] bpf: fix liveness marking

[Alexei Starovoitov <ast@fb.com>]

while processing Rx = Ry instruction the verifier does
regs[insn->dst_reg] = regs[insn->src_reg]
which often clears write mark (when Ry doesn't have it)
that was just set by check_reg_arg(Rx) prior to the assignment.
That causes mark_reg_read() to keep marking Rx in this block as
REG_LIVE_READ (since the logic incorrectly misses that it's
screened by the write) and in many of its parents (until lucky
write into the same Rx or beginning of the program).
That causes is_state_visited() logic to miss many pruning opportunities.

Furthermore mark_reg_read() logic propagates the read mark
for BPF_REG_FP as well (though it's readonly) which causes
harmless but unnecssary work during is_state_visited().
Note that do_propagate_liveness() skips FP correctly,
so do the same in mark_reg_read() as well.
It saves 0.2 seconds for the test below

program               before  after
bpf_lb-DLB_L3.o       2604    2304

bpf_netdev.o          17843   16943
bpf_overlay.o         8672    7929
time                  ~11 sec  ~4 sec
