powerpc updates for 6.10
- Enable BPF Kernel Functions (kfuncs) in the powerpc BPF JIT.
- Allow per-process DEXCR (Dynamic Execution Control Register) settings via
prctl, notably NPHIE which controls hashst/hashchk for ROP protection.
- Install powerpc selftests in sub-directories. Note this changes the way
run_kselftest.sh needs to be invoked for powerpc selftests.
- Change fadump (Firmware Assisted Dump) to better handle memory add/remove.
- Add support for passing additional parameters to the fadump kernel.
- Add support for updating the kdump image on CPU/memory add/remove events.
- Other small features, cleanups and fixes.

powerpc/fadump: Fix section mismatch warning
With some compilers/configs fadump_setup_param_area() isn't inlined into
its caller (which is __init), leading to a section mismatch warning:
WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: section mismatch in reference:
fadump_setup_param_area+0x200 (section: .text.fadump_setup_param_area)
-> memblock_phys_alloc_range (section: .init.text)
Fix it by adding an __init annotation.
