Originally, I planed to fix the issue by aligning BPF_JIT_REGION_START, but
IIRC, BPF experts are adding (or have added) "Calling kernel functions from BPF"
feature, there's a risk that BPF JIT region is beyond the 2GB of module region:

------
module
------
kernel
------
BPF_JIT

So I made this patch finally. In this patch, we let BPF JIT region sit
between module and kernel.

To address "make sure modules and BPF programs get their own virtual regions",
what about something as below (applied against this patch)?
