Commit 3bc753c06d ("kbuild: treat char as always unsigned") broke
kprobes. Setting a probe-point on 1 byte conditional jump can cause the
kernel to crash when the (signed) relative jump offset gets treated as
unsigned.
Fix by replacing the unsigned 'immediate.bytes' (plus a cast) with the
signed 'immediate.value' when assigning to the relative jump offset.
