6.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Naveen N Rao <naveen@kernel.org>

[ Upstream commit 9670f6d2097c4f97e15c67920dfddc664d7ee91c ]

Commit 61688a82e047 ("powerpc/bpf: enable kfunc call") enhanced
bpf_jit_emit_func_call_hlp() to handle calls out to module region, where
bpf progs are generated. The only difference now between
bpf_jit_emit_func_call_hlp() and bpf_jit_emit_func_call_rel() is in
handling of the initial pass where target function address is not known.
Fold that logic into bpf_jit_emit_func_call_hlp() and rename it to
bpf_jit_emit_func_call_rel() to simplify bpf function call JIT code.

We don't actually need to load/restore TOC across a call out to a
different kernel helper or to a different bpf program since they all
work with the kernel TOC. We only need to do it if we have to call out
to a module function. So, guard TOC load/restore with appropriate
conditions.
