If the kernel is big enough (eg. allyesconfig), the linker may need to
switch TOCs when calling from the BPF JIT code out to the external
helpers (skb_copy_bits() & bpf_internal_load_pointer_neg_helper()).
In order to do that we need to leave space after the bl for the linker
to insert a reload of our TOC pointer.
