Ensure that the trampoline stubs JITed at the tail of the
epilogue do not expose the dummy trampoline address stored
in the last 8 bytes(64-bit) and last 4 bytes(32-bit)
to the disassembly flow. Prevent the disassembler from
ingesting this memory address, as it may occasionally decode
into a seemingly valid but incorrect instruction. Fix this
issue by truncating the last 8/4 bytes from JITed buffers
before supplying them for disassembly.

Fixes: b991fc520700 ("selftests/bpf: utility function to get program 
disassembly after jit")
The fixes tag on this patch doesn't really help. Please drop it.
With that..
