Subject: [PATCH v7 03/14] static_call: add function to query current function

Some users of paravirtualized functions need to query which function
has been specified in a pv_ops vector element. In order to be able to
switch such paravirtualized functions to static_calls instead, there
needs to be a function to query the function which will be called via
static_call().
