In the conventional stack frame, the position of tail_call_cnt
is after the NVR save area (BPF_PPC_STACK_SAVE). Whereas, the
offset of tail_call_cnt in the trampoline frame is after the
stack alignment padding. BPF JIT logic could become complex
when dealing with frame-sensitive offset calculation of
tail_call_cnt. Having the same offset in both frames is the
desired objective.

The trampoline frame does not have a BPF_PPC_STACK_SAVE area.
Introducing it leads to under-utilization of extra memory meant
only for the offset alignment of tail_call_cnt.
Another challenge is the variable alignment padding sitting at
the bottom of the trampoline frame, which requires additional
handling to compute tail_call_cnt offset.

This patch addresses the above issues by moving tail_call_cnt
to the bottom of the stack frame at offset 0 for both types
of frames. This saves additional bytes required by BPF_PPC_STACK_SAVE
in trampoline frame, and a common offset computation for
tail_call_cnt serves both frames.

The changes in this patch are required by the third patch in the
series, where the 'reference to tail_call_info' of the main frame
is copied into the trampoline frame from the previous frame.

This needs to be defined outside of CONFIG_PPC64 ifdef because from patch 3 it is used in bpf_jit_comp.c which is also built on powerpc32.
