[PATCH for-4.8 08/10] powerpc: use the jump label for cpu_has_feature

From: Kevin Hao <haokexin at gmail.com>

The cpu features are fixed once the probe of cpu features are done.
And the function cpu_has_feature() does be used in some hot path.
The checking of the cpu features for each time of invoking of
cpu_has_feature() seems suboptimal. This tries to reduce this
overhead of this check by using jump label.

The generated assemble code of the following c program:
	if (cpu_has_feature(CPU_FTR_XXX))
		xxx()

Before:
	lis     r9,-16230
	lwz     r9,12324(r9)
	lwz     r9,12(r9)
	andi.   r10,r9,512
	beqlr-

After:
	nop	if CPU_FTR_XXX is enabled
	b xxx	if CPU_FTR_XXX is not enabled
