Inline the calls to bpf_get_smp_processor_id() in the powerpc bpf jit.

powerpc saves the Logical processor number (paca_index) in paca.

Here is how the powerpc JITed assembly changes after this commit:

Before:

cpu = bpf_get_smp_processor_id();

addis 12, 2, -517
addi 12, 12, -29456
mtctr 12
bctrl
mr 8, 3

After:

cpu = bpf_get_smp_processor_id();

lhz 8, 8(13)

To evaluate the performance improvements introduced by this change,
the benchmark described in [1] was employed.

+---------------+-------------------+-------------------+--------------+
| Name | Before | After | % change |
|---------------+-------------------+-------------------+--------------|
| glob-arr-inc | 41.580 ± 0.034M/s | 54.137 ± 0.019M/s | + 30.20% |
| arr-inc | 39.592 ± 0.055M/s | 54.000 ± 0.026M/s | + 36.39% |
| hash-inc | 25.873 ± 0.012M/s | 26.334 ± 0.058M/s | + 1.78% |

Nice improvement.

I see that bpf_get_current_task() could be inlined as well, on PPC32 it is in r2, on PPC64 it is in paca.

What about PPC32 ?
