[PATCH v3 1/2] powerpc64/bpf: fix tail calls for PCREL addressing

With PCREL addressing, there is no kernel TOC. So, it is not setup in
prologue when PCREL addressing is used. But the number of instructions
to skip on a tail call was not adjusted accordingly. That resulted in
not so obvious failures while using tailcalls. 'tailcalls' selftest
crashed the system with the below call trace:

  bpf_test_run+0xe8/0x3cc (unreliable)
  bpf_prog_test_run_skb+0x348/0x778
  __sys_bpf+0xb04/0x2b00
  sys_bpf+0x28/0x38
  system_call_exception+0x168/0x340
  system_call_vectored_common+0x15c/0x2ec
