Currently, we don't check if the branch-taken of a jump is reserved code of
ld_imm64. Instead, such a issue is captured in check_ld_imm(). The verifier
gives the following log in such case:

0: R1=ctx(off=0,imm=0) R10=fp0
0: (18) r4 = 0xffff888103436000 ; R4_w=map_ptr(off=0,ks=4,vs=128,imm=0)
2: (18) r1 = 0x1d ; R1_w=29
4: (55) if r4 != 0x0 goto pc+4 ; R4_w=map_ptr(off=0,ks=4,vs=128,imm=0)
5: (1c) w1 -= w1 ; R1_w=0
6: (18) r5 = 0x32 ; R5_w=50
8: (56) if w5 != 0xfffffff4 goto pc-2
mark_precise: frame0: last_idx 8 first_idx 0 subseq_idx -1
mark_precise: frame0: regs=r5 stack= before 6: (18) r5 = 0x32
7: R5_w=50
7: BUG_ld_00
invalid BPF_LD_IMM insn

Here the verifier rejects the program because it thinks insn at 7 is an
invalid BPF_LD_IMM, but such a error log is not accurate since the issue
is jumping to reserved code not because the program contains invalid insn.
Therefore, make the verifier check the jump target during check_cfg(). For
the same program, the verifier reports the following log:

func#0 @0
jump to reserved code from insn 8 to 7

Also adjust existing tests in ld_imm64.c, testing forward/back jump to
reserved code.

This change is not really necessary, the test reports same error
either way.

If we don't have a backward jump covered, we could probably also make this
a new test case rather than modifying an existing one. Aside from that it
would probably also make sense to make this a separate commit, so it eases
backporting a bit.
