For the redzone case (no stack frame) with exception_boundary, this
formula computes R23 at offset -80 and R24 at offset -72 from R1.

However, bpf_stf_barrier() uses hardcoded offsets -80(1) and -72(1) to
temporarily save R21 and R22 during STF barrier execution:

    asm (
    "	bpf_stf_barrier:		;"
    "		std	21,-80(1)	;"
    "		std	22,-72(1)	;"
    "		sync			;"
    "		ld	21,-80(1)	;"
    "		ld	22,-72(1)	;"
    ...
    );

When an exception_boundary program without its own stack frame executes a
memory load that triggers STF_BARRIER_FALLBACK, can bpf_stf_barrier()
corrupt the saved R23 and R24 values? The hardcoded offsets would overlap
with the extended NVR save area.

If exception_cb later restores these registers, it would get R21/R22 values
instead of the original R23/R24 values.
