MIPSr6 introduced compact branches which have no delay slots. Make use
of them for jump labels in order to avoid the need for a nop to fill the
branch or jump delay slot, saving 4 bytes of code for each static branch.

Currently, CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL just means "I _want_ to use jump label".
The jump label is controlled by HAVE_JUMP_LABEL, which is defined
like this:
#if defined(CC_HAVE_ASM_GOTO) && defined(CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL)
# define HAVE_JUMP_LABEL
#endif
We can improve this by testing 'asm goto' support in Kconfig, then
make JUMP_LABEL depend on CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO.
Ugly #ifdef HAVE_JUMP_LABEL will go away, and CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL will
match to the real kernel capability.

The conversion of the hotplug locking to a percpu rwsem unearthed lock
ordering issues all over the place.
The jump_label code has two issues:
1) Nested get_online_cpus() invocations
2) Ordering problems vs. the cpus rwsem and the jump_label_mutex
To cure these, the following lock order has been established;
cpus_rwsem -> jump_label_lock -> text_mutex
Even if not all architectures need protection against CPU hotplug, taking
cpus_rwsem before jump_label_lock is now mandatory in code pathes which
actually modify code and therefor need text_mutex protection.
Move the get_online_cpus() invocations into the core jump label code and
establish the proper lock order where required.

Since we've already stepped away from ENABLE is a JMP and DISABLE is a
NOP with the branch_default bits, and are going to make it even worse,
rename it to make it all clearer.
This way we don't mix multiple levels of logic attributes, but have a
plain 'physical' name for what the current instruction patching status
of a jump label is.
This is a first step in removing the naming confusion that has led to
a stream of avoidable bugs such as:

Implement the microMIPS encoding of the J instruction for the purpose of
the static keys feature, fixing a crash early on in bootstrap as the
kernel is unhappy seeing the ISA bit set in jump table entries. Make
sure the ISA bit correctly reflects the instruction encoding chosen for
the kernel, 0 for the standard MIPS and 1 for the microMIPS encoding.
Also make sure the instruction to patch is a 32-bit NOP in the microMIPS
mode as by default the 16-bit short encoding is assumed

Correct the check for the span of the 256MB segment addressable by the J
instruction according to this instruction's semantics. The calculation
of the jump target is applied to the address of the delay-slot
instruction that immediately follows. Adjust the check accordingly by
adding 4 to `e->code' that holds the address of the J instruction
itself.

In order not to be left behind, we add jump label support for MIPS.
Tested on 64-bit big endian (Octeon), and 32-bit little endian
(malta/qemu).
