[PATCH bpf-next 1/2] bpf, arm64: Fix redundant MOV and clarify stack arg comments

emit_stack_arg_store_imm() materializes the immediate into tmp and
then moves tmp to the target register (x5-x7). Emit the immediate
directly into the target register to avoid the redundant MOV.
While here, qualify the bare "FP" in the stack-layout ASCII art as
"A64_FP" so it is not confused with BPF_FP, and note that incoming
stack arguments sit above the FP/LR pair pushed by the callee
prologue.
