[PATCH v2 1/2] libbpf: fix off-by-one in emit_signature_match jump offset

The offset for the cleanup-label jump is computed before the MOV R7
instruction is emitted, but the JMP lands after it. Account for the
extra insn in the offset calculation (-2 instead of -1). Drop the
redundant self-loop in the else branch; gen->error = -ERANGE already
marks the generation as failed.
