Subject: arm64: bpf: fix signedness bug in loading 64-bit immediate

commit 1e4df6b7208140f3c49f316d33a409d3a161f350 upstream.

Consider "(u64)insn1.imm << 32 | imm" in the arm64 JIT.  Since imm is
signed 32-bit, it is sign-extended to 64-bit, losing the high 32 bits.
The fix is to convert imm to u32 first, which will be zero-extended to
u64 implicitly.
