bpf, x86: Align dispatcher branch targets to 16B
>From Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures Optimization Reference Manual, 3.4.1.4 Code Alignment, Assembly/Compiler Coding Rule 11: All branch targets should be 16-byte aligned. This commits aligns branch targets according to the Intel manual. The nops used to align branch targets make the dispatcher larger, and therefore the number of supported dispatch points/programs are descreased from 64 to 48.
