static_call(), is the idea of static_branch() applied to indirect function
calls. Remove a data load (indirection) by modifying the text.

The inline implementation still relies on objtool to generate the
.static_call_sites section, mostly because this is a natural place for x86_64
and works for both GCC and LLVM.  Other architectures can pick other means
if/when they implement the inline patching. The out-of-line (aka. trampoline)
variant doesn't require this.

Patches go on top of tip/objtool/core.

Patches can also be found here:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/peterz/queue.git x86/static_call

Changes since the last time:

 - Fixed the inline variant; the previous version relied on the section of
   symbols to detect the static call sites, but undefined symbols do not
   have a section, so it basically ended up not patching many sites. IOW
   inline mostly behaved in the out-of-line variant.

 - Fixed an issue with modules

 - Clarified static_cond_call() has 'void' return.

 - Clarified DEFINE_STATIC_COND_CALL() (ab)use.

 - Tracing no longer adds an indirect call for !HAVE_STATIC_CALL
