Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v2 2/2] powerpc64/bpf: Inline bpf_get_smp_processor_id() and bpf_get_current_task()

Inline the calls to bpf_get_smp_processor_id()/bpf_get_current_task()
in the powerpc bpf jit.

powerpc saves the Logical processor number (paca_index) and pointer
to current task (__current) in paca.

Here is how the powerpc JITed assembly changes after this commit:

Before:

cpu = bpf_get_smp_processor_id();

addis 12, 2, -517
addi 12, 12, -29456
mtctr 12
bctrl
mr	8, 3

After:

cpu = bpf_get_smp_processor_id();

lhz 8, 8(13)

To evaluate the performance improvements introduced by this change,
the benchmark described in [1] was employed.
