Subject: ARM: net: bpf: avoid 'bx' instruction on non-Thumb capable CPUs

From: Russell King <rmk+kernel@armlinux.org.uk>

commit e9062481824384f00299971f923fecf6b3668001 upstream.

Avoid the 'bx' instruction on CPUs that have no support for Thumb and
thus do not implement this instruction by moving the generation of this
opcode to a separate function that selects between:

	bx	reg

and

	mov	pc, reg

according to the capabilities of the CPU.
