bpf: change parameters of call/branch offset adjustment
In preparation for code removal change parameters to branch and call adjustment functions to be more universal. The current parameters assume we are patching a single instruction with a longer set. A diagram may help reading the change, this is for the patch single case, patching instruction 1 with a replacement of 4: ____ 0 |____| 1 |____| <-- pos ^ 2 | | <-- end old ^ | 3 | | | delta | len 4 |____| | | (patch region) 5 | | <-- end new v v 6 |____| end_old = pos + 1 end_new = pos + delta + 1 If we are before the patch region - curr variable and the target are fully in old coordinates (hence comparing against end_old). If we are after the region curr is in new coordinates (hence the comparison to end_new) but target is in mixed coordinates, so we just check if it falls before end_new, and if so it needs the adjustment. Note that we will not fix up branches which land in removed region in case of removal, which should be okay, as we are only going to remove dead code.
