Please disregard this patch: the test does not fail in absence of the
fix. What rather fails is:

	BPF_MOV64_IMM(BPF_REG_0, 0),
	BPF_STX_MEM(BPF_W, BPF_REG_10, BPF_REG_0, -4),
	BPF_JMP_IMM(BPF_JGE, BPF_REG_0, 0, 1),
	BPF_LDX_MEM(BPF_W, BPF_REG_0, BPF_REG_10, -4),
	BPF_EXIT_INSN(),

The difference is that here the dead ldx_w is actually safe. I will
send a v3 shortly (I also realized I forgot to tag this series with
v2).
