bpf: provide helper that indicates eBPF was migrated

During recent discussions we had with Michael, we found that it would
be useful to have an indicator that tells the JIT that an eBPF program
had been migrated from classic instructions into eBPF instructions, as
only in that case A and X need to be cleared in the prologue. Such eBPF
programs do not set a particular type, but all have BPF_PROG_TYPE_UNSPEC.
Thus, introduce a small helper for 5d486a6b90c1 ("s390/bpf: Only clear
A and X for converted BPF programs") and possibly others in future.
