[RFC PATCH 7/7] static_call: add generic support for non-exported keys

The static_call feature where only the static call target is exposed to
modules while access to the key is withheld is only implemented for the
inline and out-of-line varieties, but not for the generic indirect call
based variety.

Let's use static_call_query() to obtain the call target address if the
key is not exported. Note that this means we can do the converse as
well, i.e., implement static_call_query() in terms of the key struct if
the key is exported, so we only need to export one of the two.

Note that this adds an additional load and potentially a direct call to
the instantiations of static_call residing in module code.
