[PATCH] powerpc32/bpf: return false from bpf_jit_supports_fsession() on ppc32

[Karl Mehltretter]

bpf_jit_supports_fsession() returns bool. Commit 92258b5bf1ec
("powerpc32/bpf: Add fsession support") made it return -EOPNOTSUPP on
ppc32 until fsession is validated there. The negative value converts to
true, so the verifier does not reject fsession programs on ppc32. Such a
program loads, and only attaching it fails because
__arch_prepare_bpf_trampoline() returns -EOPNOTSUPP on ppc32.

Return false instead. The load then fails with "JIT does not support
fsession". Tested with a ppc32 kernel on QEMU g3beige.

A friendly ping on this ppc32 BPF fsession fix. Patchwork on netdevbpf
marks it awaiting-upstream for the powerpc tree. Is anything else needed
from my side?

Thanks,
Karl
