Since 'may_goto 0' insns are actually no-op, let us remove them. Otherwise, verifier will generate code like /* r10 - 8 stores the implicit loop count */ r11 = *(u64 *)(r10 -8) if r11 == 0x0 goto pc+2 r11 -= 1 *(u64 *)(r10 -8) = r11 which is the pure overhead. The following code patterns (from the previous commit) are also handled: may_goto 2 may_goto 1 may_goto 0 With this commit, the above three 'may_goto' insns are all eliminated.
