bpf: Disable GCC -fgcse optimization for ___bpf_prog_run()

On x86-64, with CONFIG_RETPOLINE=n, GCC's "global common subexpression
elimination" optimization results in ___bpf_prog_run()'s jumptable code
changing from this:

	select_insn:
		jmp *jumptable(, %rax, 8)
		...
	ALU64_ADD_X:
		...
		jmp *jumptable(, %rax, 8)
	ALU_ADD_X:
		...
		jmp *jumptable(, %rax, 8)

to this:

	select_insn:
		mov jumptable, %r12
		jmp *(%r12, %rax, 8)
		...
	ALU64_ADD_X:
		...
		jmp *(%r12, %rax, 8)
	ALU_ADD_X:
		...
		jmp *(%r12, %rax, 8)

The jumptable address is placed in a register once, at the beginning of
the function.  The function execution can then go through multiple
indirect jumps which rely on that same register value.  This has a few
issues:

1) Objtool isn't smart enough to be able to track such a register value
   across multiple recursive indirect jumps through the jump table.

2) With CONFIG_RETPOLINE enabled, this optimization actually results in
   a small slowdown.  I measured a ~4.7% slowdown in the test_bpf
   "tcpdump port 22" selftest.

   This slowdown is actually predicted by the GCC manual:

     Note: When compiling a program using computed gotos, a GCC
     extension, you may get better run-time performance if you
     disable the global common subexpression elimination pass by
     adding -fno-gcse to the command line.

So just disable the optimization for this function.
