Hi Yonghong,

Thanks for your review. We introduced riscv jited line info in series 
[0], and we found that 32-bit systems can not display bpf line info due 
to the inconsistent data extension between jited_ksyms and jited_linfo. 
And we finally unify them to zero extension. By the way, we cleanup the 
related code. jited_ksyms and jited_linfo both are u64 address, no need 
to casting to long, and we previously remove it. But u64 in some arch is 
%ld, so to avoid compiler warnings we just cast to unsigned long long.

And sorry for not updating the subject and comment. I will corret it.
