powerpc/livepatch: Add live patching support on ppc64le

Add the kconfig logic & assembly support for handling live patched
functions. This depends on DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS, which in turn
depends on the new -mprofile-kernel ftrace ABI, which is only supported
currently on ppc64le.

Live patching is handled by a special ftrace handler. This means it runs
from ftrace_caller(). The live patch handler modifies the NIP so as to
redirect the return from ftrace_caller() to the new patched function.

However there is one particularly tricky case we need to handle.

If a function A calls another function B, and it is known at link time
that they share the same TOC, then A will not save or restore its TOC,
and will call the local entry point of B.

When we live patch B, we replace it with a new function C, which may
not have the same TOC as A. At live patch time it's too late to modify A
to do the TOC save/restore, so the live patching code must interpose
itself between A and C, and do the TOC save/restore that A omitted.

An additionaly complication is that the livepatch code can not create a
stack frame in order to save the TOC. That is because if C takes > 8
arguments, or is varargs, A will have written the arguments for C in
A's stack frame.

To solve this, we introduce a "livepatch stack" which grows upward from
the base of the regular stack, and is used to store the TOC & LR when
calling a live patched function.

When the patched function returns, we retrieve the real LR & TOC from
the livepatch stack, restore them, and pop the livepatch "stack frame".
