[PATCH] bpf, arm64: Mark dummy_tramp as global

When building with clang + CONFIG_CFI_CLANG=y, the following error
occurs at link time:

  ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: dummy_tramp

dummy_tramp is declared globally in C but its definition in inline
assembly does not use .global, which prevents clang from properly
resolving the references to it when creating the CFI jump tables.

Mark dummy_tramp as global so that the reference can be properly
resolved.
