Extend the static_call infrastructure to optimize the following common
pattern:
if (func_ptr)
func_ptr(args...)
For the trampoline (which is in effect a tail-call), we patch the
JMP.d32 into a RET, which then directly consumes the trampoline call.
For the in-line sites we replace the CALL with a NOP5.
NOTE: this is 'obviously' limited to functions with a 'void' return type.
NOTE: DEFINE_STATIC_COND_CALL() only requires a typename, as opposed
to a full function.

Add the inline static call implementation for x86-64. The generated code
is identical to the out-of-line case, except we move the trampoline into
it's own section.
Objtool uses the trampoline naming convention to detect all the call
sites. It then annotates those call sites in the .static_call_sites
section.
During boot (and module init), the call sites are patched to call
directly into the destination function. The temporary trampoline is
then no longer used.

Add the x86 out-of-line static call implementation. For each key, a
permanent trampoline is created which is the destination for all static
calls for the given key. The trampoline has a direct jump which gets
patched by static_call_update() when the destination function changes.
[peterz: fixed trampoline, rewrote patching code]
