Luke Nelson c648c9c742 bpf, arm: Optimize ALU ARSH K using asr immediate instruction
This patch adds an optimization that uses the asr immediate instruction
for BPF_ALU BPF_ARSH BPF_K, rather than loading the immediate to
a temporary register. This is similar to existing code for handling
BPF_ALU BPF_{LSH,RSH} BPF_K. This optimization saves two instructions
and is more consistent with LSH and RSH.

Example of the code generated for BPF_ALU32_IMM(BPF_ARSH, BPF_REG_0, 5)
before the optimization:

  2c:  mov    r8, #5
  30:  mov    r9, #0
  34:  asr    r0, r0, r8

and after optimization:

  2c:  asr    r0, r0, #5

Tested on QEMU using lib/test_bpf and test_verifier.
