powerpc/bpf/32: introduce a second source register for ALU operations



At the time being, all ALU operation are performed with same L-source
and destination, requiring the L-source to be moved into destination via
a separate register move, like:

  70:	7f c6 f3 78 	mr      r6,r30
  74:	7f a5 eb 78 	mr      r5,r29
  78:	30 c6 ff f4 	addic   r6,r6,-12
  7c:	7c a5 01 d4 	addme   r5,r5

Introduce a second source register to all ALU operations. For the time
being that second source register is made equal to the destination
register.

That change will allow, via following patch, to optimise the generated
code as:

  70:	30 de ff f4 	addic   r6,r30,-12
  74:	7c bd 01 d4 	addme   r5,r29
