The only architecture that actually needs to convert compiler generated
jump label NOP encodings into something else at runtime is MIPS, because
the assembler cannot be trusted to emit a sequence that can be safely
patched into a branch instruction.

All other architectures either do nothing with jump label NOPs at load
time, or patch a perfectly good NOP into a different one, or into the same
one - none of this seems very useful, so let's get rid of it where we
can.

Changes since v1:
- use a default implementation of arch_jump_label_transform_static()
  instead of an empty macro in patch #3
- fix MIPS with CONFIG_MODULES=n
- add acks from Mark and Peter to patch #3
