bpf, arm: Optimize ALU64 ARSH X using orrpl conditional instruction

This patch optimizes the code generated by emit_a32_arsh_r64, which
handles the BPF_ALU64 BPF_ARSH BPF_X instruction.

The original code uses a conditional B followed by an unconditional ORR.
The optimization saves one instruction by removing the B instruction
and using a conditional ORR (with an inverted condition).

Example of the code generated for BPF_ALU64_REG(BPF_ARSH, BPF_REG_0,
BPF_REG_1), before optimization:

  34:  rsb    ip, r2, #32
  38:  subs   r9, r2, #32
  3c:  lsr    lr, r0, r2
  40:  orr    lr, lr, r1, lsl ip
  44:  bmi    0x4c
  48:  orr    lr, lr, r1, asr r9
  4c:  asr    ip, r1, r2
  50:  mov    r0, lr
  54:  mov    r1, ip

and after optimization:

  34:  rsb    ip, r2, #32
  38:  subs   r9, r2, #32
  3c:  lsr    lr, r0, r2
  40:  orr    lr, lr, r1, lsl ip
  44:  orrpl  lr, lr, r1, asr r9
  48:  asr    ip, r1, r2
  4c:  mov    r0, lr
  50:  mov    r1, ip

Tested on QEMU using lib/test_bpf and test_verifier.
