The 'goto' jumps over the 'image_size' initialization
        prog->bpf_func = (void *)ctx.image;
        prog->jited = 1;
        prog->jited_len = image_size;
so we now get a warning here, starting with linux-next-20171218:

arch/arm64/net/bpf_jit_comp.c: In function 'bpf_int_jit_compile':
arch/arm64/net/bpf_jit_comp.c:982:18: error: 'image_size' may be used
uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]

I could not figure out what the code should be doing instead, or if it is
indeed safe and the warning is a false-positive.
