bpf: x64: add JIT support for multi-function programs



Typical JIT does several passes over bpf instructions to
compute total size and relative offsets of jumps and calls.
With multitple bpf functions calling each other all relative calls
will have invalid offsets intially therefore we need to additional
last pass over the program to emit calls with correct offsets.
For example in case of three bpf functions:
main:
  call foo
  call bpf_map_lookup
  exit
foo:
  call bar
  exit
bar:
  exit

We will call bpf_int_jit_compile() indepedently for main(), foo() and bar()
x64 JIT typically does 4-5 passes to converge.
After these initial passes the image for these 3 functions
will be good except call targets, since start addresses of
foo() and bar() are unknown when we were JITing main()
(note that call bpf_map_lookup will be resolved properly
during initial passes).
Once start addresses of 3 functions are known we patch
call_insn->imm to point to right functions and call
bpf_int_jit_compile() again which needs only one pass.
Additional safety checks are done to make sure this
last pass doesn't produce image that is larger or smaller
than previous pass.

When constant blinding is on it's applied to all functions
at the first pass, since doing it once again at the last
pass can change size of the JITed code.

Tested on x64 and arm64 hw with JIT on/off, blinding on/off.
x64 jits bpf-to-bpf calls correctly while arm64 falls back to interpreter.
All other JITs that support normal BPF_CALL will behave the same way
since bpf-to-bpf call is equivalent to bpf-to-kernel call from
JITs point of view.
