docs/bpf: Improve documentation of 64-bit immediate instructions

For 64-bit immediate instruction, 'BPF_IMM | BPF_DW | BPF_LD' and
src_reg=[0-6], the current documentation describes the 64-bit
immediate is constructed by:

  imm64 = (next_imm << 32) | imm

But actually imm64 is only used when src_reg=0. For all other
variants (src_reg != 0), 'imm' and 'next_imm' have separate special
encoding requirement and imm64 cannot be easily used to describe
instruction semantics.

This patch clarifies that 64-bit immediate instructions use
two 32-bit immediate values instead of a 64-bit immediate value,
so later describing individual 64-bit immediate instructions
becomes less confusing.
