This patch solves the issue with the first parameter. Now I see the correct
value of f_mode member of struct-file.
As you said the other loads are wrong. Here is the output of the 
trace:

           perf-13438 [000] d..2  2102.392312: : f_mode 6001f offset:0 orig:0
            perf-13438 [000] d..2  2102.392414: : f_mode 2001d offset:0 orig:0
            perf-13438 [000] d..2  2102.392440: : f_mode 2001d offset:0 orig:0
            perf-13438 [000] d..2  2102.392453: : f_mode 6001f offset:0 orig:0

PS: When I ran this test I undid the changes to tests/bpf-test-script-prologue.c.
It was in its original state when this test was executed.
