Puranjay Mohan 20e490adea bpf: make bpf_prog_pack allocator portable ...

The bpf_prog_pack allocator currently uses module_alloc() and
module_memfree() to allocate and free memory. This is not portable
because different architectures use different methods for allocating
memory for BPF programs. Like ARM64 and riscv use vmalloc()/vfree().

Use bpf_jit_alloc_exec() and bpf_jit_free_exec() for memory management
in bpf_prog_pack allocator. Other architectures can override these with
their implementation and will be able to use bpf_prog_pack directly.

On architectures that don't override bpf_jit_alloc/free_exec() this is
basically a NOP.
