bpf: use the least significant byte for the nr_args in trampoline

Browse source

For now, ((u64 *)ctx)[-1] is used to store the nr_args in the trampoline.
However, 1 byte is enough to store such information. Therefore, we use
only the least significant byte of ((u64 *)ctx)[-1] to store the nr_args,
and reserve the rest for other usages.
