After D77330, the comments are inconsistent with the disassembled code.
As the value of `far` has been changed, a thunk to reach it is now
generated, and target addresses of branch instructions are different
from what was initially expected.
The patch fixes that and makes the test closer to what it was originally.

For the record, GNU ld changed to 64k max page size in 2014

"[RFC] ld/ARM: Increase maximum page size to 64kB"
Android driver forced 4k page size in AArch64 (D55029) and ARM (D77746).
A binary linked with max-page-size=4096 does not run on a system with a
higher page size configured. There are some systems out there that do
this and it leads to the binary getting `Killed!` by the kernel.
In the non-linker-script cases, when linked with -z noseparate-code
(default), the max-page-size increase should not cause any size
difference. There may be some VMA usage differences, though.

A short thunk uses a direct branch (b or b.w) instruction, and is used
when the target has the same thumbness as the thunk and is within
direct branch range (32MB for ARM, 16MB for Thumb-2). Reduces the
size of Chromium for Android's .text section by around 160KB.
