This isn't a bug, but should the count read "six programs", and could the
closing sentence be scoped to the two __success programs, since
sext_self_mov_no_link has no div and the __failure ones expect it to be
reachable?

This isn't a bug, but now that the gate lives in bpf_misc.h, would it be
worth switching verifier_movsx.c's inline #if over to #ifdef CAN_USE_MOVSX
so the arch/feature list exists in one place?
