Subject: bpf: don't prune branches when a scalar is replaced with a pointer
Patch-mainline: v4.15-rc5
Git-commit: 179d1c5602997fef5a940c6ddcf31212cbfebd14
References: CVE-2017-17855 bsc#1056787 bsc#1073928

This could be made safe by passing through a reference to env and checking
for env->allow_ptr_leaks, but it would only work one way and is probably
not worth the hassle - not doing it will not directly lead to program
rejection.
