The bpf_verifier_state.loop_entry state should be copied by
copy_verifier_state(). Otherwise, .loop_entry values from unrelated
states would poison env->cur_state.
Additionally, env->stack should not contain any states with
.loop_entry != NULL. The states in env->stack are yet to be verified,
while .loop_entry is set for states that reached an equivalent state.
This means that env->cur_state->loop_entry should always be NULL after
pop_stack().
See the selftest in the next commit for an example of the program that
is not safe yet is accepted by verifier w/o this fix.
This change has some verification performance impact for selftests:

Note 'layered_dump' program, which now hits 1M instructions limit.
This impact would be mitigated in the next patch.
