commit 8fd4ddda upstream.

System.map shows that vmlinux contains several instances of
__static_call_return0():

	c0004fc0 t __static_call_return0
	c0011518 t __static_call_return0
	c00d8160 t __static_call_return0

arch_static_call_transform() uses the middle one to check whether we are
setting a call to __static_call_return0 or not:

	c0011520 <arch_static_call_transform>:
	c0011520:       3d 20 c0 01     lis     r9,-16383	<== r9 =  0xc001 << 16
	c0011524:       39 29 15 18     addi    r9,r9,5400	<== r9 += 0x1518
	c0011528:       7c 05 48 00     cmpw    r5,r9		<== r9 has value 0xc0011518 here

So if static_call_update() is called with one of the other instances of
__static_call_return0(), arch_static_call_transform() won't recognise it.

In order to work properly, global single instance of __static_call_return0() is required.
