jump label: Introduce static_branch() interface

Introduce:

static __always_inline bool static_branch(struct jump_label_key *key);

instead of the old JUMP_LABEL(key, label) macro.

In this way, jump labels become really easy to use:

Define:

        struct jump_label_key jump_key;

Can be used as:

        if (static_branch(&jump_key))
                do unlikely code

enable/disale via:

        jump_label_inc(&jump_key);
        jump_label_dec(&jump_key);

that's it!

For the jump labels disabled case, the static_branch() becomes an
atomic_read(), and jump_label_inc()/dec() are simply atomic_inc(),
atomic_dec() operations. We show testing results for this change below.

Thanks to H. Peter Anvin for suggesting the 'static_branch()' construct.

Since we now require a 'struct jump_label_key *key', we can store a pointer into
the jump table addresses. In this way, we can enable/disable jump labels, in
basically constant time. This change allows us to completely remove the previous
hashtable scheme. Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for this re-write.

Testing:

I ran a series of 'tbench 20' runs 5 times (with reboots) for 3
configurations, where tracepoints were disabled.

jump label configured in
avg: 815.6

jump label *not* configured in (using atomic reads)
avg: 800.1

jump label *not* configured in (regular reads)
avg: 803.4
