bpf, docs: Shift operations are defined to use a mask

Browse source 
Update the documentation regarding shift operations to explain the
use of a mask, since otherwise shifting by a value out of range
(like negative) is undefined.

@ -204,6 +204,9 @@ for ``BPF_ALU64``, 'imm' is first sign extended to 64 bits and the result
interpreted as an unsigned 64-bit value. There are no instructions for
signed division or modulo.
Shift operations use a mask of 0x3F (63) for 64-bit operations and 0x1F (31)
for 32-bit operations.
