    bpf: Fix tail_call_reachable rejection for interpreter when jit failed

    During testing of f263a81451c1 (bpf: Track subprog poke descriptors correctly
    and fix use-after-free) under various failure conditions, for example, when
    jit_subprogs() fails and tries to clean up the program to be run under the
    interpreter, we ran into the following freeze:

    Turns out that the program rejection from e411901c0b77 (bpf: allow for tailcalls
    in BPF subprograms for x64 JIT) is buggy since env->prog->aux->tail_call_reachable
    is never true. Commit ebf7d1f508a7 (bpf, x64: rework pro/epilogue and tailcall
    handling in JIT) added a tracker into check_max_stack_depth() which propagates
    the tail_call_reachable condition throughout the subprograms. This info is then
    assigned to the subprogram's
