[PATCH bpf-next v3 3/9] bpf, x86: JIT __arena kfunc argument rebasing

Implement arena argument rebasing for kfunc calls on x86. R12 already
holds kern_vm_start whenever the prog has an arena, so each tagged
argument costs two instructions emitted right before the call:

  movl %eN, %eN         /* truncate, clear the upper 32 bits */
  addq %r12, %rN

A nullable argument tests the truncated value and jumps over the add:

  movl  %eN, %eN
  testl %eN, %eN
  jz    1f
  addq  %r12, %rN
1:

addq carries a REX prefix for every argument register and is always
three bytes, so the jz displacement is constant. The sequence is native
code generated after constant blinding has run on the BPF instruction
stream, so blinding never sees the rebase and needs no special handling.

bpf_jit_supports_arena_args() is not flipped yet; that happens when the
struct_ops trampoline side is in place as well.
