net: filter: BPF testsuite
The testsuite covers classic and internal BPF instructions. It is particularly useful for JIT compiler developers. Adds to "net" selftest target. The testsuite can be used as a set of micro-benchmarks. It measures execution time of each BPF program in nsec. This patch adds core framework.
