[PATCH v5 3/8] arm64/runtime-const: Introduce runtime_const_mask_32()

[K Prateek Nayak]

Futex hash computation requires a mask operation with read-only after
init data that will be converted to a runtime constant in the subsequent
commit.

Introduce runtime_const_mask_32 to further optimize the mask operation
in the futex hash computation hot path. Since all the current use-cases
are of the form GENMASK(n, 0), with n > 0, a single:

  ubfx  w0, w0, #0, #widthm1     // w0 = w0 [widthm1:0]

instruction is used for amd64 to improve instruction dinsity and
performance.

"Arm A-profile A64 Instruction Set Architecture" manual, Sec.
"A64 -- Base Instructions" [1] for UBFX instruction highlights the
immediate "width" is encoded as width minus 1 in imms (Bits [15:10])
which is patched by __runtime_fixup_mask() once the mask is known.

If a future use case arises that needs to tackle arbitrary mask,
consider using:

  movz  w1, #lo16, lsl #0
  movk  w1, #hi16, lsl #16

to patch the 32-bit mask in the asm block and return "__ret & (val)"
from runtime_const_mask_32() which allows compiler to further optimize
the logical and operation. __runtime_fixup_ptr() already patches a
"movz, + movk lsl #16" sequence which can be reused when the need
arises.

A possible implementation for this alternate scheme can be found at [2].

changelog v4..v5:

o Pivoted to using the UBFX instruction for masking since the futex
  use-case use masks of form 2^n - 1 (n > 1) since there was enough
  interest to improve instruction density for ARM64 and RISC-V.
  (Charlie, Samuel on v2)

o Dropped Catalin's tag as a result of changed approach.
