The BPF_SIZE check in the beginning of check_ld_imm() actually guard
against program with JMP instructions that goes to the second
instruction of BPF_LD_IMM64, but may be easily dismissed as an simple
opcode check that's duplicating the effort of bpf_opcode_in_insntable().

Add comment to better reflect the importance of the check.

The check_ld_imm() call context is:

                } else if (class == BPF_LD) {
                        u8 mode = BPF_MODE(insn->code);

                        if (mode == BPF_ABS || mode == BPF_IND) {
                                err = check_ld_abs(env, insn);
                                if (err)
                                        return err;

                        } else if (mode == BPF_IMM) {
                                err = check_ld_imm(env, insn);
                                if (err)
                                        return err;

                                env->insn_idx++;
                                sanitize_mark_insn_seen(env);
                        } else {
                                verbose(env, "invalid BPF_LD mode\n");
                                return -EINVAL;
                        }
                }

which is a normal checking of LD_imm64 insn.

I think the to-be-added comment is incorrect and unnecessary.

  	if (BPF_SIZE(insn->code) != BPF_DW) {
  		verbose(env, "invalid BPF_LD_IMM insn\n");
  		return -EINVAL;
