riscv, bpf: add internal-only MOV instruction to resolve per-CPU addrs

Support an instruction for resolving absolute addresses of per-CPU
data from their per-CPU offsets. This instruction is internal-only and
users are not allowed to use them directly. They will only be used for
internal inlining optimizations for now between BPF verifier and BPF
JITs.

RISC-V uses generic per-cpu implementation where the offsets for CPUs
are kept in an array called __per_cpu_offset[cpu_number]. RISCV stores
the address of the task_struct in TP register. The first element in
task_struct is struct thread_info, and we can get the cpu number by
reading from the TP register + offsetof(struct thread_info, cpu).

Once we have the cpu number in a register we read the offset for that
cpu from address: &__per_cpu_offset + cpu_number << 3. Then we add this
offset to the destination register.

To measure the improvement from this change, the benchmark in [1] was
used on Qemu:

Before:
glob-arr-inc   :    1.127 ± 0.013M/s
arr-inc        :    1.121 ± 0.004M/s
hash-inc       :    0.681 ± 0.052M/s

After:
glob-arr-inc   :    1.138 ± 0.011M/s
arr-inc        :    1.366 ± 0.006M/s
hash-inc       :    0.676 ± 0.001M/s
