[dpdk-stable] [dpdk-dev] [PATCH] bpf: fix to allow ptr stack program type

[Ananyev, Konstantin]

Hi Jerin,

I believe there is a reason,
ARG_PTR_STACK is reserved for memory within BPF program internal stack only.
User that calls BPF program should never pass parameter with that type.
If the user allocates parameter for bpf function on the stack, he can
still use RTE_BPF_ARG_PTR for it.
