bpf_prog_create() is called inside spin_lock_bh(), and the BUG_ON()
hits. Below is a quick fix.

From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx>
Subject: [PATCH] net: ppp: Don't call bpf_prog_create() in ppp_lock
In ppp_ioctl(), bpf_prog_create() is called inside ppp_lock, which
eventually calls vmalloc() and hits BUG_ON() in vmalloc.c. This patch
works around the problem by moving the allocation outside the lock.
