Introduce the helper emit_store_stack_imm64(), which is used to store a
imm64 to the stack with the help of r0.

Signed-off-by: Menglong Dong <redacted>

v9:
- rename emit_st_r0_imm64() to emit_store_stack_imm64()

maybe make the caller pass BPF_REG_0 explicitly, it will be more
generic but also more explicit that BPF_REG_0 is used as temporary
register?

why are you negating stack offset here and not in the caller?..

see above, I'd pass BPF_REG_0 and -ip_off (and -nregs_off) explicitly,
too many small transformations are hidden inside
emit_store_stack_imm64(), IMO
