Xu Kuohai 5d4fa9ec56 bpf, arm64: Avoid blindly saving/restoring all callee-saved registers
The arm64 jit blindly saves/restores all callee-saved registers, making
the jited result looks a bit too compliated. For example, for an empty
prog, the jited result is:

   0:   bti jc
   4:   mov     x9, lr
   8:   nop
   c:   paciasp
  10:   stp     fp, lr, [sp, #-16]!
  14:   mov     fp, sp
  18:   stp     x19, x20, [sp, #-16]!
  1c:   stp     x21, x22, [sp, #-16]!
  20:   stp     x26, x25, [sp, #-16]!
  24:   mov     x26, #0
  28:   stp     x26, x25, [sp, #-16]!
  2c:   mov     x26, sp
  30:   stp     x27, x28, [sp, #-16]!
  34:   mov     x25, sp
  38:   bti j 		// tailcall target
  3c:   sub     sp, sp, #0
  40:   mov     x7, #0
  44:   add     sp, sp, #0
  48:   ldp     x27, x28, [sp], #16
  4c:   ldp     x26, x25, [sp], #16
  50:   ldp     x26, x25, [sp], #16
  54:   ldp     x21, x22, [sp], #16
  58:   ldp     x19, x20, [sp], #16
  5c:   ldp     fp, lr, [sp], #16
  60:   mov     x0, x7
  64:   autiasp
  68:   ret

Clearly, there is no need to save/restore unused callee-saved registers.
This patch does this change, making the jited image to only save/restore
the callee-saved registers it uses.

Now the jited result of empty prog is:

   0:   bti jc
   4:   mov     x9, lr
   8:   nop
   c:   paciasp
  10:   stp     fp, lr, [sp, #-16]!
  14:   mov     fp, sp
  18:   stp     xzr, x26, [sp, #-16]!
  1c:   mov     x26, sp
  20:   bti j		// tailcall target
  24:   mov     x7, #0
  28:   ldp     xzr, x26, [sp], #16
  2c:   ldp     fp, lr, [sp], #16
  30:   mov     x0, x7
  34:   autiasp
  38:   ret

Since bpf prog saves/restores its own callee-saved registers as needed,
to make tailcall work correctly, the caller needs to restore its saved
registers before tailcall, and the callee needs to save its callee-saved
registers after tailcall. This extra restoring/saving instructions
increases preformance overhead.

[1] provides 2 benchmarks for tailcall scenarios. Below is the perf
number measured in an arm64 KVM guest. The result indicates that the
performance difference before and after the patch in typical tailcall
scenarios is negligible.
