[PATCH 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.

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

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.
