mainlining shenanigans

The sparse tool complains as follows:
arch/arm64/net/bpf_jit_comp.c:1684:16:
warning: incorrect type in assignment (different base types)
arch/arm64/net/bpf_jit_comp.c:1684:16:

arch/arm64/net/bpf_jit_comp.c:1684:16:

arch/arm64/net/bpf_jit_comp.c:1700:52:
error: subtraction of different types can't work (different base
types)
arch/arm64/net/bpf_jit_comp.c:1734:29:
warning: incorrect type in assignment (different base types)
arch/arm64/net/bpf_jit_comp.c:1734:29:

arch/arm64/net/bpf_jit_comp.c:1734:29:

arch/arm64/net/bpf_jit_comp.c:1918:52:
error: subtraction of different types can't work (different base
types)
This is because the variable branch in function invoke_bpf_prog and the
variable branches in function prepare_trampoline are defined as type
u32 *, which conflicts with ctx->image's type __le32 *, so sparse complains
when assignment or arithmetic operation are performed on these two
variables and ctx->image.
Since arm64 instructions are always little-endian, change the type of
these two variables to __le32 * and call cpu_to_le32() to convert
instruction to little-endian before writing it to memory. This is also
in line with emit() which internally does cpu_to_le32(), too.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
