LoongArch: BPF: Optimize redundant TCC loads in epilogue

Browse source

The legacy epilogue implementation pops the tail call counter (TCC)
context via a redundant double-load pattern. It first decrements the
load_offset by 2 slots to fetch 'tcc_ptr', and then immediately bumps
it back up by 1 slot to load the original 'tcc' value into REG_TCC,
unnecessarily overwriting the register.

Optimize this sequence by adjusting the load_offset by only 1 slot.
This aligns the offset directly with the higher stack slot containing
the entry TCC counter (or caller state), allowing us to restore the
REG_TCC register safely with a single load.

This removes one redundant instruction from the epilogue hot path,
improves code readability, and ensures the correct TCC register context
is handed back cleanly upon normal return.
