[PATCH v3 18/21] powerpc: Add option to use jump label for cpu_has_feature()

From: Kevin Hao <haokexin at gmail.com>

We do binary patching of asm code using CPU features, which is a
one-time operation, done during early boot. However checks of CPU
features in C code are currently done at run time, even though the set
of CPU features can never change after boot.

We can optimise this by using jump labels to implement cpu_has_feature(),
meaning checks in C code are binary patched into a single nop or branch.

For a C sequence along the lines of:

    if (cpu_has_feature(FOO))
         return 2;

The generated code before is roughly:

    ld      r9,-27640(r2)
    ld      r9,0(r9)
    lwz     r9,32(r9)
    cmpwi   cr7,r9,0
    bge     cr7, 1f
    li      r3,2
    blr
1:  ...

After (true):
    nop
    li      r3,2
    blr

After (false):
    b	1f
    li      r3,2
    blr
1:  ...

v3: Rename MAX_CPU_FEATURES as we already have a #define with that name.
    Define NUM_CPU_FTR_KEYS as a constant.
    Rename the array to cpu_feature_keys.
    Use the kconfig we added to guard it.
    Rewrite the change log.
