bpf: Fix tnum_overlap to check for zero mask intersection

This patch adds an early return check in tnum_overlap() to detect
non-overlapping tnums when their masks have no overlapping bits. The
fix addresses a syzbot report where the verifier failed to recognize
that two tnums couldn't represent the same value.

                              ^^^^^

Does this logic correctly detect non-overlapping tnums? Consider this
counter-example:

  a = (value=0x5, mask=0xA)  // binary: value=0101, mask=1010
  b = (value=0xA, mask=0x5)  // binary: value=1010, mask=0101

The masks are disjoint: (0xA & 0x5) == 0, so the new check returns
false (no overlap).

However, these tnums actually represent overlapping sets:
  a represents: {5, 7, 13, 15}  // 0b0101, 0b0111, 0b1101, 0b1111
  b represents: {10, 11, 14, 15} // 0b1010, 0b1011, 0b1110, 0b1111

Both sets contain 15, so they do overlap. Can this cause incorrect
verifier behavior when is_branch_taken() calls tnum_overlap() to
determine if JEQ/JNE branches are reachable?
