Great catch.
To fix the issue I think we should simply disallow such
stack abuse. The compiler won't be spilling registers
into C array on the stack.
This manual spill/fill is exploiting verifier logic.
After bpf_dynptr_slice_rdwr() we can mark all slots of the
buffer as STACK_POISON or some better name and
reject spill into such slots.

This is too complex imo.
