powerpc: Move code patching code into arch/powerpc/lib/code-patching.c
We currently have a few routines for patching code in asm/system.h, because
they didn't fit anywhere else. I'd like to clean them up a little and add
some more, so first move them into a dedicated C file - they don't need to
be inlined.
While we're moving the code, drop create_function_call(), it's intended
caller never got merged and will be replaced in future with something
different.
