Currently, the 64bit relocation value in the instruction
is computed as follows:
__u64 imm = insn[0].imm + ((__u64)insn[1].imm << 32)
Suppose insn[0].imm = -1 (0xffffffff) and insn[1].imm = 1.
With the above computation, insn[0].imm will first sign-extend
to 64bit -1 (0xffffffffFFFFFFFF) and then add 0x1FFFFFFFF,
producing incorrect value 0xFFFFFFFF. The correct value
should be 0x1FFFFFFFF.
Changing insn[0].imm to __u32 first will prevent 64bit sign
extension and fix the issue. Merging high and low 32bit values
also changed from '+' to '|' to be consistent with other
similar occurences in kernel and libbpf.
