Immedate Values Optimized Jump Fix

[Mathieu Desnoyers <compudj@krystal.dyndns.org>]

I rarely emit a single patch for a fix wrt LTTng (I usually just release
a new version), but this one is worth it. It will be in 0.11 pretty
soon, but if you want to apply it to 0.10 meanwhile, it's highly
recommended.

Caused a kernel OOPS when loading the tracepoint probes once in a while
on a 8-way x86_64.


Immedate Values Optimized Jump Fix

Fix the immediate values optimized jump fallback, which parameters were wrong
following the last changes. It should be a 5 bytes instruction (not 2) with a 4
bytes operand.
