[PATCH] bpf: don't rely on GCC __attribute__((optimize)) to disable GCSE[0]

Changes since v1:
- only use -fno-gcse when CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON=y and CONFIG_CC_IS_GCC=y
  (but ignore CONFIG_RETPOLINE since we want to avoid GCSE in all cases)
- to avoid potential impact of disabling GCSE on other code, put the
  interpreter in a separate file (patch #2)

Note that patch #1 is intended for backporting, as function scope GCC
optimization attributes are really quite broken.

I don't have a strong opinion on whether the interpreter code should be
split off or not, but it looks like it can be done fairly painlessly,
so it is probably a good idea to do it anyway.
