This part looks correct too, but this is Daniel's magic.
He'll probably take a look next week when he comes back from PTO.
I don't recall which test exercises this tailcall poking logic.
It's only used with dynamic updates to prog_array.
insmod test_bpf.ko and test_verifier won't go down this path.
