In emit_tail_call() of bpf_jit_comp32.c, "blez t2" (t2 <= 0) is not
consistent with the comment "t2 < 0", modify the check condition to
keep consistency.

If the comment is not consistent with the code, and the code is
correct, why did you change the code? Have you seen the JIT fail on
any of the tail call test cases?

The current code works as intended. The t2 register is decremented in
the branch delay slot of the blez. After your change, the the comment
still says "delay slot", but it is no longer in the delay slot of a
branch. Instead the next instruction emitted, not visible in the patch
context, fills the delay slot of the bltz. In this case it probably is
ok, but if that instruction is also a branch, the result would be
unpredictable.

I prefer to emit the delay slot instruction immediately after the
branch is emitted when possible. If a branch and its delay slot is
separated in the JIT logic, it makes the JIT more brittle IMO.

Please keep the original logic, but update the blez comment so it is
consistent with the code.
