ah, because it's not an error condition, right

yep, I just wrote a large comment about goto next_insns above and then
saw you already proposed that :) Yep, I think this is the way.

My assumption (which I didn't check) was that BPF JITs should optimize
such MOV64_IMM that have a constant fitting within 32-bits with a
faster and smaller instruction. But I'm fine leaving it as is, of
course.
