Move the long branch address field to the bottom of the long
branch stub. This allows uninterrupted disassembly until the
last 8 bytes. The last bytes exclusion is logically necessary to
prevent disassembly failure, otherwise the actual program layout
is never altered. Hence no effect on overall program size.
Also, align dummy_tramp_addr field with 8-byte boundary.

Following is disassembler output for test program with moved down
dummy_tramp_addr field:
.....
.....
pc:68    left:44     a6 03 08 7c  :  mtlr 0
pc:72    left:40     bc ff ff 4b  :  b .-68
pc:76    left:36     a6 02 68 7d  :  mflr 11
pc:80    left:32     05 00 9f 42  :  bcl 20, 31, .+4
pc:84    left:28     a6 02 88 7d  :  mflr 12
pc:88    left:24     14 00 8c e9  :  ld 12, 20(12)
pc:92    left:20     a6 03 89 7d  :  mtctr 12
pc:96    left:16     a6 03 68 7d  :  mtlr 11
pc:100   left:12     20 04 80 4e  :  bctr
pc:104   left:8      c0 34 1d 00  :

Failure log:
Can't disasm instruction at offset 104: c0 34 1d 00 00 00 00 c0
Disassembly logic can truncate at 104, ignoring last 8 bytes.

Update the dummy_tramp_addr field offset calculation from the end
of the program to reflect its new location, for bpf_arch_text_poke()
to update the actual trampoline's address in this field.

All BPF trampoline selftests continue to pass with this patch applied.

Yes, this does not compile on ppc32 without the corresponding
change there..

This should be stubs_sz instead of stubs_instrs. So:
