In stackleak_erase() we check skip_erasing() after accessing some fields
from current. As generating the address of current uses asm which
hazards with the static branch asm, this work is always performed, even
when the static branch is patched to jump to the return at the end of the
function.

This patch avoids this redundant work by moving the skip_erasing() check
earlier.

To avoid complicating initialization within stackleak_erase(), the body
of the function is split out into a __stackleak_erase() helper, with the
check left in a wrapper function. The __stackleak_erase() helper is
marked __always_inline to ensure that this is inlined into
stackleak_erase() and not instrumented.

Before this patch, on x86-64 w/ GCC 11.1.0 the start of the function is:

<stackleak_erase>:
   65 48 8b 04 25 00 00    mov    %gs:0x0,%rax
   00 00
   48 8b 48 20             mov    0x20(%rax),%rcx
   48 8b 80 98 0a 00 00    mov    0xa98(%rax),%rax
   66 90                   xchg   %ax,%ax  <------------ static branch
   48 89 c2                mov    %rax,%rdx
   48 29 ca                sub    %rcx,%rdx
   48 81 fa ff 3f 00 00    cmp    $0x3fff,%rdx

After this patch, on x86-64 w/ GCC 11.1.0 the start of the function is:

<stackleak_erase>:
   0f 1f 44 00 00          nopl   0x0(%rax,%rax,1)  <--- static branch
   65 48 8b 04 25 00 00    mov    %gs:0x0,%rax
   00 00
   48 8b 48 20             mov    0x20(%rax),%rcx
   48 8b 80 98 0a 00 00    mov    0xa98(%rax),%rax
   48 89 c2                mov    %rax,%rdx
   48 29 ca                sub    %rcx,%rdx
   48 81 fa ff 3f 00 00    cmp    $0x3fff,%rdx

Before this patch, on arm64 w/ GCC 11.1.0 the start of the function is:

<stackleak_erase>:
   d503245f        bti     c
   d5384100        mrs     x0, sp_el0
   f9401003        ldr     x3, [x0, #32]
   f9451000        ldr     x0, [x0, #2592]
   d503201f        nop  <------------------------------- static branch
   d503233f        paciasp
   cb030002        sub     x2, x0, x3
   d287ffe1        mov     x1, #0x3fff
   eb01005f        cmp     x2, x1

After this patch, on arm64 w/ GCC 11.1.0 the start of the function is:

<stackleak_erase>:
   d503245f        bti     c
   d503201f        nop  <------------------------------- static branch
   d503233f        paciasp
   d5384100        mrs     x0, sp_el0
   f9401003        ldr     x3, [x0, #32]
   d287ffe1        mov     x1, #0x3fff
   f9451000        ldr     x0, [x0, #2592]
   cb030002        sub     x2, x0, x3
   eb01005f        cmp     x2, x1

While this may not be a huge win on its own, moving the static branch
will permit further optimization of the body of the function in
subsequent patches.
