Make fetching of the BPF call address from ppc64 JIT generic. ppc64 was using a slightly different variant rather than through the insns' imm field encoding as the target address would not fit into that space. Therefore, the target subprog number was encoded into the insns' offset and fetched through fp->aux->func[off]->bpf_func instead. Given there are other JITs with this issue and the mechanism of fetching the address is JIT-generic, move it into the core as a helper instead. On the JIT side, we get information on whether the retrieved address is a fixed one, that is, not changing through JIT passes, or a dynamic one. For the former, JITs can optimize their imm emission because this doesn't change jump offsets throughout JIT process.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
