Thank you for taking a stab at it!

Maybe do a level check here?
Since calling it and immediately returning doesn't conserve
the stack.
If it gets called it can finish fine, but
calling it again would be too much.
In other words checking the level here gives us
room for one more frame.

That should be bpf_log() instead.

Please add tests that exercise this logic by enabling
additional lskels and a new test that hits the recursion limit.
I suspect we don't have such case in selftests.
Thanks!
