[PATCH] bpf: use the expected instruction for NOPs

[David Faust <david.faust@oracle.com>]

The BPF ISA does not have a no-op instruction. There are different ways
to achieve no-op, but in practice the Linux kernel verifier expects a
particular form, namely "ja 0". Update the define md_single_noop_insn
for BPF to reflect this.

For more detail, see the corresponding GCC back end patch:

	* config/tc-bpf.h (md_single_noop_insn): Use 'ja 0' for no-op.
