Thanks for the fix.

Just two other comments during review in case I am wrong on somewhere.

  - Use verifier_zext instead of bpf_jit_needs_zext() seems better, even
    though the latter could avoid extending function argument.

    Because JIT back-ends look at verifier_zext, true means zext inserted
    by verifier so JITs won't do the code-gen.

    Use verifier_zext is sort of keeping JIT blinding the same behaviour
    has verifier even though blinding doesn't belong to verifier, but for
    such insn patching, it could be seen as a extension of verifier,
    therefore use verifier_zext seems better than bpf_jit_needs_zext() to
    me.
   
  - JIT blinding is also escaping the HI32 randomization which happens
    inside verifier, otherwise x86-64 regression should have caught this issue.

Jiong
