Yes it will. Or it may have been unusable without the fix. I don't know
for sure.

Oh, the bug was even documented, with its cause ;-)
That's commit 675fc275a3a2d905 ("bpf: offload: report device information
for offloaded programs").
Partially fixed by commit 36f9814a494a874d ("bpf: fix uapi hole for 32 bit
compat applications"), which left architectures with 16-bit alignment
broken...
