Subject: [PATCH net] bpf: enforce correct alignment for instructions

After commit 9facc336876f ("bpf: reject any prog that failed read-only lock")
offsetof(struct bpf_binary_header, image) became 3 instead of 4,
breaking powerpc BPF badly, since instructions need to be word aligned.

Fixes: 9facc336876f ("bpf: reject any prog that failed read-only lock")
