[PATCH v2 2/4] powerpc/bpf: implement bpf_arch_text_copy

bpf_arch_text_copy is used to dump JITed binary to RX page, allowing
multiple BPF programs to share the same page. Use the newly introduced
patch_instructions() to implement it. Around 5X improvement in speed
of execution observed, using the new patch_instructions() function
over patch_instruction(), while running the tests from test_bpf.ko.
