Add LDR (literal) instruction to load data from address relative to PC.
This instruction will be used to implement long jump from bpf prog to
bpf trampoline in the follow-up patch.
The instruction encoding:
3 2 2 2 0 0
0 7 6 4 5 0
+-----+-------+---+-----+-------------------------------------+--------+
| 0 x | 0 1 1 | 0 | 0 0 | imm19 | Rt |
+-----+-------+---+-----+-------------------------------------+--------+
for 32-bit, variant x == 0; for 64-bit, x == 1.
branch_imm_common() is used to check the distance between pc and target
address, since it's reused by this patch and LDR (literal) is not a branch
instruction, rename it to label_imm_common().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
