[PATCH bpf-next 2/4] bpf: verifier: explain opcode check in check_ld_imm()

[Shung-Hsi Yu <shung-hsi.yu@suse.com>]

The BPF_SIZE check in the beginning of check_ld_imm() actually guard
against program with JMP instructions that goes to the second
instruction of BPF_LD_IMM64, but may be easily dismissed as an simple
opcode check that's duplicating the effort of bpf_opcode_in_insntable().

Add comment to better reflect the importance of the check.
