Here just skip the opcode(BPF_ST | BPF_NOSPEC) that has no couterpart to the loongarch.

To verify, use ltp testcase:

Without this patch:
$ ./bpf_prog02
... ...
bpf_common.c:123: TBROK: Failed verification: ??? (524)

Summary:

With this patch:
$ ./bpf_prog02

Thanks that looks better. Question to LoongArch folks (Cc): There is no equivalent
to a speculation barrier here, correct? Either way, I think the pr_info_once() can
just be removed given there is little value for a users to have this in the kernel
log. I can take care of this while applying, that's fine.

default:
pr_err("bpf_jit: unknown opcode %02x\n", code);
return -EINVAL;
