LoongArch: Add BPF JIT support

This issue is as follows:

arch/loongarch/net/bpf_jit.h:153:23: warning: Logical disjunction always
evaluates to true: imm_51_31 != 0 || imm_51_31 != 0x1fffff.
[incorrectLogicOperator]
if (imm_51_31 != 0 || imm_51_31 != 0x1fffff) {

Thanks for your report.



The statement seems to be always true. I suspect it should it be instead:

if (imm_51_31 != 0 && imm_51_31 != 0x1fffff) {

Yes, you are right. It is same with

if (!(imm_51_31 == 0 || imm_51_31 == 0x1fffff)) {

As the code comment says, the initial aim is to reduce one instruction
in some corner cases, if bit[51:31] is all 0 or all 1, no need to call
lu32id, that is to say, it should call lu32id only if bit[51:31] is not
all 0 and not all 1. The current code always call lu32id, the result is
right but the logic is unexpected and wrong.

I will send a patch to fix it as soon as possible.

Thanks,
Tiezhu
