bpf: Fix aux usage after do_check_insn()

We must terminate the speculative analysis if the just-analyzed insn had
nospec_result set. Using cur_aux() here is wrong because insn_idx might
have been incremented by do_check_insn(). Therefore, introduce and use
insn_aux variable.

Also change cur_aux(env)->nospec in case do_check_insn() ever manages to
increment insn_idx but still fail.

Change the warning to check the insn class (which prevents it from
triggering for ldimm64, for which nospec_result would not be
problematic) and use verifier_bug_if().

In line with Eduard's suggestion, do not introduce prev_aux() because
that requires one to understand that after do_check_insn() call what was
current became previous. This would at-least require a comment.
