sparc64: Support cbcond instructions in eBPF JIT.
cbcond combines a compare with a branch into a single instruction. The limitations are: 1) Only newer chips support it 2) For immediate compares we are limited to 5-bit signed immediate values 3) The branch displacement is limited to 10-bit signed 4) We cannot use it for JSET Also, cbcond (unlike all other sparc control transfers) lacks a delay slot. Currently we don't have a useful instruction we can push into the delay slot of normal branches. So using cbcond pretty much always increases code density, and is therefore a win.
