bpf, doc: Correct one wrong value in "Register value tracking"

If we then OR this with 0x40, then the value of 6th bit (0th is first bit) become known, so the right mask is 0xbf instead of 0xcf. Signed-off-by: Wang YanQing <[email protected]> Acked-by: Edward Cree <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <[email protected]>

 into a register from memory, the register's top 56 bits are known zero, while

 Besides arithmetic, the register state can also be updated by conditional
 branches.  For instance, if a SCALAR_VALUE is compared > 8, in the 'true' branch
