c5905afb0e static keys: Introduce 'struct static_key', static_key_true()/false() and static_key_slow_[inc|dec]()
So here's a boot tested patch on top of Jason's series that does
all the cleanups I talked about and turns jump labels into a
more intuitive to use facility. It should also address the
various misconceptions and confusions that surround jump labels.

Typical usage scenarios:

        #include <linux/static_key.h>

        struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_TRUE;

        if (static_key_false(&key))
                do unlikely code
        else
                do likely code

Or:

        if (static_key_true(&key))
                do likely code
        else
                do unlikely code

The static key is modified via:

        static_key_slow_inc(&key);
        ...
        static_key_slow_dec(&key);

The 'slow' prefix makes it abundantly clear that this is an
expensive operation.

I've updated all in-kernel code to use this everywhere. Note
that I (intentionally) have not pushed through the rename
blindly through to the lowest levels: the actual jump-label
patching arch facility should be named like that, so we want to
decouple jump labels from the static-key facility a bit.

On non-jump-label enabled architectures static keys default to
likely()/unlikely() branches.

747f292583 ia64: add jump labels for paravirt
Since in a later patch I intend to call jump labels inside
CONFIG_PARAVIRT, IA64 would fail to compile if they are not
provided. This patch provides those jump labels for the IA64
architecture.

f927da1786 ia64/pv_ops/pv_time_ops: add sched_clock hook.
add sched_clock() hook to paravirtualize sched_clock().
ia64 sched_clock() is based on ar.itc which isn't stable
on virtualized environment because vcpu may move around on
pcpus. So it needs paravirtualization.

pv_cpu_ops.getreg(_IA64_REG_IP) returned constant.
