Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v4 1/2] bpf, x86: inline bpf_get_current_task() for x86_64

Inline bpf_get_current_task() and bpf_get_current_task_btf() for x86_64
to obtain better performance.

In !CONFIG_SMP case, the percpu variable is just a normal variable, and
we can read the current_task directly.

Signed-off-by: Menglong Dong <dongml2@...natelecom.cn>
---
v4:
- handle the !CONFIG_SMP case

v3:
- implement it in the verifier with BPF_MOV64_PERCPU_REG() instead of in
  x86_64 JIT.
