This enables LTO_CLANG builds on POWER with the upstream version of
LLVM.

LTO optimizes the output vmlinux binary and this may affect the FTP
alternative section if alt branches use "bc" (Branch Conditional) which
is limited by 16 bit offsets. This shows up in errors like:

ld.lld: error: InputSection too large for range extension thunk vmlinux.o:(__ftr_alt_97+0xF0)

This works around the issue by replacing "bc" in FTR_SECTION_ELSE with
"b" which allows 26 bit offsets.

This catches the problem instructions in vmlinux.o before it LTO'ed:

$ objdump -d -M raw -j __ftr_alt_97 vmlinux.o | egrep '\S+\s*\<bc\>'
  30:   00 00 82 40     bc      4,eq,30 <__ftr_alt_97+0x30>
  f0:   00 00 82 40     bc      4,eq,f0 <__ftr_alt_97+0xf0>

This allows LTO builds for ppc64le_defconfig plus LTO options.
Note that DYNAMIC_FTRACE/FUNCTION_TRACER is not supported by LTO builds
but this is not POWERPC-specific.

This makes the copy routines slower on POWER6 as this partially reverts
a4e22f02f5b6 ("powerpc: Update 64bit__copy_tofrom_user() using CPU_FTR_UNALIGNED_LD_STD")

Changes:
v2:
* dropped FTR sections which were only meant to improve POWER6 as
Paul suggested

---

Note 1:
This is further development of
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220211023125.1790960-1-aik@ozlabs.ru/T/

Note 2:
CONFIG_ZSTD_COMPRESS and CONFIG_ZSTD_DECOMPRESS must be both "m" or "y"
or it won't link. For details:
