stackleak: move skip_erasing() check earlier
In stackleak_erase() we check skip_erasing() after accessing some fields
from current. As generating the address of current uses asm which
hazards with the static branch asm, this work is always performed, even
when the static branch is patched to jump to the return at the end of the
function.
This patch avoids this redundant work by moving the skip_erasing() check
earlier.
To avoid complicating initialization within stackleak_erase(), the body
of the function is split out into a __stackleak_erase() helper, with the
check left in a wrapper function. The __stackleak_erase() helper is
marked __always_inline to ensure that this is inlined into
stackleak_erase() and not instrumented.
Before this patch, on x86-64 w/ GCC 11.1.0 the start of the function is:
<stackleak_erase>:
65 48 8b 04 25 00 00 mov %gs:0x0,%rax
00 00
48 8b 48 20 mov 0x20(%rax),%rcx

66 90 xchg %ax,%ax <------------ static branch
48 89 c2 mov %rax,%rdx
48 29 ca sub %rcx,%rdx
48 81 fa ff 3f 00 00 cmp $0x3fff,%rdx
After this patch, on x86-64 w/ GCC 11.1.0 the start of the function is:
<stackleak_erase>:

48 89 c2 mov %rax,%rdx
48 29 ca sub %rcx,%rdx
48 81 fa ff 3f 00 00 cmp $0x3fff,%rdx
Before this patch, on arm64 w/ GCC 11.1.0 the start of the function is:
<stackleak_erase>:

f9401003 ldr x3, [x0, #32]

d503201f nop <------------------------------- static branch
d503233f paciasp
cb030002 sub x2, x0, x3
d287ffe1 mov x1, #0x3fff
eb01005f cmp x2, x1
After this patch, on arm64 w/ GCC 11.1.0 the start of the function is:
<stackleak_erase>:
d503245f bti c
d503201f nop <------------------------------- static branch

cb030002 sub x2, x0, x3
eb01005f cmp x2, x1
While this may not be a huge win on its own, moving the static branch
will permit further optimization of the body of the function in
subsequent patches.
