bpf, doc: Correct one wrong value in "Register value tracking"

If we then OR this with 0x40, then the value of 6th bit (0th is first bit)

mask and value; no bit should ever be 1 in both. For example, if a byte is read
into a register from memory, the register's top 56 bits are known zero, while
the low 8 are unknown - which is represented as the tnum (0x0; 0xff). If we
then OR this with 0x40, we get (0x40; 0xcf), then if we add 1 we get (0x0;
then OR this with 0x40, we get (0x40; 0xbf), then if we add 1 we get (0x0;

Besides arithmetic, the register state can also be updated by conditional
branches. For instance, if a SCALAR_VALUE is compared > 8, in the 'true' branch
