We've briefly discussed this approach with Yauheni while coming up with the
posted patch.
I think that contructing the array correctly in the first place is better.
Right now it might only be used in bpf2a64_offset() and bpf_prog_fill_jited_linfo()
but if we fixup the values on the fly in there, everyone that intends to use the
offset for any reason will have to account for the missing instruction.
