  ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]---

The bpf_fifo_dequeue prog returns a skb which is a pointer. The pointer
is treated as a 32bit value and sign extend to 64bit in epilogue. This
behavior is right for most bpf prog types but wrong for struct ops which
requires LoongArch ABI.

So let's sign extend struct ops return values according to the LoongArch
ABI ([1]) and return value spec in function model.
