AIUI "adjust x" is offset += x, whereas "def x" is offset = x.

So we could use adjust here, but we'd need to adjust by -(2 * PPC_MIN_STKFRM).

It seemed clearer to just set the offset back to 0, which is what it is
at the start of the function.

But I'm not a CFI expert at all, so I'll defer to anyone else who has an
opinion :)
