Functions that are passed to early_initcall should be of type
initcall_t, which expects a return type of int. This is not currently an
error but a patch in the Clang LTO series could change that in the
future.

In order to use static_call() to wire up x86_pmu, we need to
initialize earlier, specifically before memory allocation works; copy
some of the tricks from jump_label to enable this.
Primarily we overload key->next to store a sites pointer when there
are no modules, this avoids having to use kmalloc() to initialize the
sites and allows us to run much earlier.

GCC can turn our static_call(name)(args...) into a tail call, in which
case we get a JMP.d32 into the trampoline (which then does a further
tail-call).
Teach objtool to recognise and mark these in .static_call_sites and
adjust the code patching to deal with this.

Similar to how we disallow kprobes on any other dynamic text
(ftrace/jump_label) also disallow kprobes on inline static_call()s.

Add infrastructure for an arch-specific CONFIG_HAVE_STATIC_CALL_INLINE
option, which is a faster version of CONFIG_HAVE_STATIC_CALL. At
runtime, the static call sites are patched directly, rather than using
the out-of-line trampolines.
Compared to out-of-line static calls, the performance benefits are more
modest, but still measurable. Steven Rostedt did some tracepoint
measurements:

This code is heavily inspired by the jump label code (aka "static
jumps"), as some of the concepts are very similar.
For more details, see the comments in include/linux/static_call.h.
