s390/bpf: Fix bpf_arch_text_poke() with new_addr == NULL again
JIRA: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-110274 commit 6a5abf8 Author: Ilya Leoshkevich <iii@linux.ibm.com> Date: Wed Jul 16 21:35:06 2025 +0200 s390/bpf: Fix bpf_arch_text_poke() with new_addr == NULL again Commit 7ded842 ("s390/bpf: Fix bpf_plt pointer arithmetic") has accidentally removed the critical piece of commit c730fce ("s390/bpf: Fix bpf_arch_text_poke() with new_addr == NULL"), causing intermittent kernel panics in e.g. perf's on_switch() prog to reappear. Restore the fix and add a comment.
