bpf: Avoid putting struct bpf_scc_callchain variables on the stack

Add a 'struct bpf_scc_callchain callchain_buf' field in bpf_verifier_env.
This way, the previous bpf_scc_callchain local variables can be
replaced by taking address of env->callchain_buf. This can reduce stack
usage and fix the following error:
    kernel/bpf/verifier.c:19921:12: error: stack frame size (1368) exceeds limit (1280) in 'do_check'
        [-Werror,-Wframe-larger-than]
