ARC: Add eBPF JIT support

This will add eBPF JIT support to the 32-bit ARCv2 processors. The
implementation is qualified by running the BPF tests on a Synopsys HSDK
board with "ARC HS38 v2.1c at 500 MHz" as the 4-core CPU.

The test_bpf.ko reports 2-10 fold improvements in execution time of its
tests. For instance:

test_bpf: #33 tcpdump port 22 jited:0 704 1766 2104 PASS
test_bpf: #33 tcpdump port 22 jited:1 120  224  260 PASS

test_bpf: #141 ALU_DIV_X: 4294967295 / 4294967295 = 1 jited:0 238 PASS
test_bpf: #141 ALU_DIV_X: 4294967295 / 4294967295 = 1 jited:1  23 PASS

test_bpf: #776 JMP32_JGE_K: all ... magnitudes jited:0 2034681 PASS
test_bpf: #776 JMP32_JGE_K: all ... magnitudes jited:1 1020022 PASS

Deployment and structure
------------------------
The related codes are added to "arch/arc/net":

- bpf_jit.h       -- The interface that a back-end translator must provide
- bpf_jit_core.c  -- Knows how to handle the input eBPF byte stream
- bpf_jit_arcv2.c -- The back-end code that knows the translation ...
