You need to make one of two follow up changes here:

1) explicitly allow 0-length programs

2) fix bpf_filter (see the first check and its comments for "return -1")

Personally I'd prefer to see (1) because it allows you
to "set" a BPF program and measure the performance impact
of the BPF code on networking without having to worry
about the cost of executing the BPF program itself.
