[PATCHv2 net-next] net: filter: move load_pointer() into filter.h

[Zi Shen Lim]

load_pointer() is already a static inline function.
Let's move it into filter.h so BPF JIT implementations can reuse this
function.

Since we're exporting this function, let's also rename it to
bpf_load_pointer() for clarity.

Signed-off-by: Zi Shen Lim <zlim.lnx@xxxxxxxxx>

v1->v2:
* Renamed to more specific name of bpf_load_pointer(), as suggested
  by Daniel.

This patch is based on discussion with Alexei in the context of
reusing load_pointer for upcoming arm64 BPF JIT compiler. [1]
Compile tested on x86_64 and arm64.
