[PATCH 3/6] powerpc/bpf: use BPF_PPC_STACK_SAVE to spill trampoline NVRs

From: Abhishek Dubey <adubey at linux.ibm.com>
In the previous patch, we introduced BPF_PPC_STACK_SAVE
into the trampoline frame to make its layout consistent
with a conventional stack frame.
The trampoline JIT currently uses NVRs R25 and R26 and
allocates dedicated stack slots to save them. This
dedicated space can be eliminated by reusing the
BPF_PPC_STACK_SAVE area instead, reducing overall stack
footprint.
The BPF_PPC_STACK_SAVE area corresponds to the register
range R26–R31. By remapping registers in the trampoline
JIT code (R25 → R26 and R26 → R27), we can spill these
registers into the existing save area and utilize the stack
more efficiently.
