[PATCH bpf-next 0/4] Mixing bpf2bpf and tailcalls for RV64

In the current RV64 JIT, if we just don't initialize the TCC in subprog,
the TCC can be propagated from the parent process to the subprocess, but
the TCC of the parent process cannot be restored when the subprocess
exits. Since the RV64 TCC is initialized before saving the callee saved
registers into the stack, we cannot use the callee saved register to
pass the TCC, otherwise the original value of the callee saved register
will be destroyed. So we implemented mixing bpf2bpf and tailcalls
similar to x86_64, i.e. using a non-callee saved register to transfer
the TCC between functions, and saving that register to the stack to
protect the TCC value. At the same time, we also consider the scenario
of mixing trampoline.

In addition, some code cleans are also attached to this patchset.

Tests test_bpf.ko and test_verifier have passed, as well as the relative
testcases of test_progs*.
