I dumped the BPF program that repro.c is loading, it works on x86-64
and there is nothing special there. We are probe-reading 5 bytes from
somewhere into the stack. Everything is unaligned here, but stays
within a well-defined memory slot.

Note the r3 = (s8)r1, that's a new-ish thing, maybe bug is somewhere
there (but then it would be JIT, not verifier itself)

   0: (7a) *(u64 *)(r10 -8) = 896542069
   1: (bf) r1 = r10
   2: (07) r1 += -7
   3: (b7) r2 = 5
   4: (bf) r3 = (s8)r1
   5: (85) call bpf_probe_read_kernel#-72390
   6: (b7) r0 = 0
   7: (95) exit
