[PATCH v4 3/6] powerpc64/bpf: Avoid tailcall restore from trampoline

From: Abhishek Dubey <adubey at linux.ibm.com>

Back propagation of tailcall count is no longer needed for
powerpc64 due to use of reference, which updates the tailcall
count in the tail_call_info field in the frame of the main
program only.

Back propagation is still required for 32-bit powerpc.
