bpf: Tidy verifier bug message

Yonghong noticed that error messages for potential verifier bugs often
have a '(1)' at the end. This is happening because verifier_bug_if(cond,
env, fmt, args...) prints "(" #cond ")\n" as part of the message and
verifier_bug() is defined as:

  #define verifier_bug(env, fmt, args...) verifier_bug_if(1, env, fmt, ##args)

Hence, verifier_bug() always ends up displaying '(1)'. This small patch
fixes it by having verifier_bug_if conditionally call verifier_bug
instead of the other way around.

Fixes: 1cb0f56d9618 ("bpf: WARN_ONCE on verifier bugs")
