Only DEFINE_STATIC_CALL use __DEFINE_STATIC_CALL macro now when
CONFIG_HAVE_STATIC_CALL is selected.

Only keep __DEFINE_STATIC_CALL() for the generic fallback, and
also use it to implement DEFINE_STATIC_CALL_NULL() in that case.

<title>static_call: Properly initialise DEFINE_STATIC_CALL_RET0()</title>

When a static call is updated with __static_call_return0() as target,
arch_static_call_transform() set it to use an optimised set of
instructions which are meant to lay in the same cacheline.

But when initialising a static call with DEFINE_STATIC_CALL_RET0(),
we get a branch to the real __static_call_return0() function instead
of getting the optimised setup:

	c00d8120 &lt;__SCT__perf_snapshot_branch_stack&gt;:
	c00d8120:	4b ff ff f4 	b       c00d8114 &lt;__static_call_return0&gt;
	c00d8124:	3d 80 c0 0e 	lis     r12,-16370
	c00d8128:	81 8c 81 3c 	lwz     r12,-32452(r12)
	c00d812c:	7d 89 03 a6 	mtctr   r12
	c00d8130:	4e 80 04 20 	bctr
	c00d8134:	38 60 00 00 	li      r3,0
	c00d8138:	4e 80 00 20 	blr
	c00d813c:	00 00 00 00 	.long 0x0

Add ARCH_DEFINE_STATIC_CALL_RET0_TRAMP() defined by each architecture
to setup the optimised configuration, and rework
DEFINE_STATIC_CALL_RET0() to call it:

	c00d8120 &lt;__SCT__perf_snapshot_branch_stack&gt;:
	c00d8120:	48 00 00 14 	b       c00d8134 &lt;__SCT__perf_snapshot_branch_stack+0x14&gt;

<title>static_call: Don't make __static_call_return0 static</title>

System.map shows that vmlinux contains several instances of
__static_call_return0():

	c0004fc0 t __static_call_return0
	c0011518 t __static_call_return0
	c00d8160 t __static_call_return0

arch_static_call_transform() uses the middle one to check whether we are
setting a call to __static_call_return0 or not:

	c0011520 &lt;arch_static_call_transform&gt;:
	c0011520:       3d 20 c0 01     lis     r9,-16383	&lt;== r9 =  0xc001 &lt;&lt; 16
	c0011524:       39 29 15 18     addi    r9,r9,5400	&lt;== r9 += 0x1518
	c0011528:       7c 05 48 00     cmpw    r5,r9		&lt;== r9 has value 0xc0011518 here

So if static_call_update() is called with one of the other instances of
__static_call_return0(), arch_static_call_transform() won't recognise it.

In order to work properly, global single instance of __static_call_return0() is required.

static_call_update() had stronger type requirements than regular C,
relax them to match. Instead of requiring the @func argument has the
exact matching type, allow any type which C is willing to promote to the
right (function) pointer type. Specifically this allows (void *)
arguments.

This cleans up a bunch of static_call_update() callers for
PREEMPT_DYNAMIC and should get around silly GCC11 warnings for free.

Some users of paravirtualized functions need to query which function
has been specified in a pv_ops vector element. In order to be able to
switch such paravirtualized functions to static_calls instead, there
needs to be a function to query the function which will be called via
static_call().

Having the definition of static_call() in static_call_types.h makes
no sense as long struct static_call_key isn't defined there, as the
generic implementation of static_call() is referencing this structure.

So move the definition of struct static_call_key to static_call_types.h.

<title>static_call: Allow module use without exposing static_call_key</title>

When exporting static_call_key; with EXPORT_STATIC_CALL*(), the module
can use static_call_update() to change the function called.  This is
not desirable in general.

Not exporting static_call_key however also disallows usage of
static_call(), since objtool needs the key to construct the
static_call_site.

Solve this by allowing objtool to create the static_call_site using
the trampoline address when it builds a module and cannot find the
static_call_key symbol. The module loader will then try and map the
trampole back to a key before it constructs the normal sites list.

Doing this requires a trampoline -&gt; key associsation, so add another
magic section that keeps those.

<title>static_call: Provide DEFINE_STATIC_CALL_RET0()</title>

DECLARE_STATIC_CALL() must pass the original function targeted for a
given static call. But DEFINE_STATIC_CALL() may want to initialize it as
off. In this case we can't pass NULL (for functions without return value)
or __static_call_return0 (for functions returning a value) directly
to DEFINE_STATIC_CALL() as that may trigger a static call redeclaration
with a different function prototype. Type casts neither can work around
that as they don't get along with typeof().

The proper way to do that for functions that don't return a value is
to use DEFINE_STATIC_CALL_NULL(). But functions returning a actual value
don't have an equivalent yet.

Provide DEFINE_STATIC_CALL_RET0() to solve this situation.
