Thanks for your vigilance, but it's actually correct, sorry for not
making it clear enough. In patch 11 ("bpf: Preserve boundaries and track
scalars on narrowing fill") I modify u16_offset_to_skb_data, because it
becomes a valid pattern after that change. If I didn't change and fix
u64_offset_to_skb_data here, I'd need to modify it in patch 11 as well
(that's what I meant when I said "it will matter later in the series",
it's indeed subtle and implicit, now that I look at it), because it
would also start passing, however, that's not what we want, because:

1. Both tests would essentially test the same thing: a 16-bit fill after
a 32-bit spill.

2. The description of u64_offset_to_skb_data clearly says: "Refill as
u64". It's a typo in the code, u16->u64 makes sense, because we spill
two u32s and fill them as a single u64.

So, this patch essentially prevents wrong changes in a further patch.
