When performing DISP{16,32} relocations, the eBPF ELF backend linker
needs to convert the relocation from an address into a signed number
of 64-bit words (minus one) to jump.
Because of this unsigned-to-signed conversion, special care needs to
be taken when dividing to ensure the sign bits remain correct.
Otherwise, a false relocation overflow error can be triggered.
