This patch fixes an incorrect check in how immediate memory offsets are
computed for BPF_DW on arm.

For BPF_LDX/ST/STX + BPF_DW, the 32-bit arm JIT breaks down an 8-byte
access into two separate 4-byte accesses using off+0 and off+4. If off
fits in imm12, the JIT emits a ldr/str instruction with the immediate
and avoids the use of a temporary register. While the current check off
<= 0xfff ensures that the first immediate off+0 doesn't overflow imm12,
it's not sufficient for the second immediate off+4, which may cause the
second access of BPF_DW to read/write the wrong address.

This patch fixes the problem by changing the check to
off <= 0xfff - 4 for BPF_DW, ensuring off+4 will never overflow.

A side effect of simplifying the check is that it now allows using
negative immediate offsets in ldr/str. This means that small negative
offsets can also avoid the use of a temporary register.

This patch introduces no new failures in test_verifier or test_bpf.c.
