LoongArch: BPF: Move arena register slot below TCC context

Currently, the stack layout places the optional arena register slot above the tail call counter context. When arena_vm_start is dynamically enabled, it shifts the relative offset of the tcc_ptr slot within the stack frame, causing hardcoded tracking macros to mismatch and leading to memory misalignment or corruption potentially.

To fix this, move the arena register save and restore sequences below the tail call counter context slots in both build_prologue() and the epilogue.

Update __build_epilogue() to insert a proper offset decrement to safely skip the unneeded tcc_ptr reading block while accurately aligning with the relocated arena slot at the very bottom.

With this patch, the tcc_ptr slot is always positioned at a fixed distance directly underneath the base callee-saved registers that is independent of whether the arena features are on.
