patching.

Should there be a "delta += cnt - 1;" before assigning env->prog in this
bpf_get_func_arg_cnt block? When cnt is 2 (non-RAW_TP path), the program
grows by one instruction, but delta is not updated. This could cause
subsequent bpf_patch_insn_data() calls to use incorrect offsets.

The bpf_get_func_arg block at the beginning of this patch has:

    delta    += cnt - 1;
    env->prog = prog = new_prog;

And the bpf_get_func_ret block similarly has delta updated. But this
bpf_get_func_arg_cnt block goes directly to env->prog assignment without
updating delta.
