bpf, x86: Small optimization in comparing against imm0
Replace 'cmp reg, 0' with 'test reg, reg' for comparisons against zero. Saves 1 byte of instruction encoding per occurrence. The flag results of test 'reg, reg' are identical to 'cmp reg, 0' in all cases except for AF which we don't use/care about. In terms of macro-fusibility in combination with a subsequent conditional jump instruction, both have the same properties for the jumps used in the JIT translation. For example, same JITed Cilium program can shrink a bit from e.g. 12,455 to 12,317 bytes as tests with 0 are used quite frequently.
