Commit 2a5418a13fcf changed verifier dead code handling from patching with
NOPs to using a loop trap made with BPF_JMP_IMM(BPF_JA, 0, 0, -1). This
confuses the JIT static analysis, which follows the loop assuming the
verifier passed safe code, and results in a system hang and RCU stall.
Update reg_val_propagate_range() to fall through these trap insns.
Trigger the bug using test_verifier "check known subreg with unknown reg".
Fixes: 2a5418a13fcf ("bpf: improve dead code sanitizing")
