Enhance the bpf_arch_text_poke() function to enable accurate location
of BPF program entry points.
When modifying the entry point of a BPF program, skip the move t0, ra
instruction to ensure the correct logic and copy of the jump address.

The signature of bpf_arch_text_poke() was changed in v6.19 ([1]), please rebase.

Thank you for your review and for pointing out the API change in v6.19.
I believe my patch series already accounts for this. It was developed on
top of commit ae4a3160d19c ("bpf: specify the old and new poke_type for bpf_arch_text_poke"),
so all modifications to bpf_arch_text_poke() call sites within my
patches should already be using the updated signature.
Please let me know if you find any inconsistencies or if further
adjustments are needed.

Fine, it seems like the LoongArch tree is not up-to-date.

LoongArch tree now updated to 6.19-rc2, hope patches can be applied cleanly.
