This new constant defines tail_call_cnt offset as 8 bytes from prev sp.

The tail_call_cnt offset changes from +24 to +72 (24 + 48) relative to
bpf_jit_stack_local().

There appears to be an inconsistency with the trampoline code in
bpf_jit_comp.c. The function bpf_trampoline_setup_tail_call_cnt() and
bpf_trampoline_restore_tail_call_cnt() use a hardcoded offset:

int tailcallcnt_offset = 7 * 8; /* = 56 */

The comment says "See bpf_jit_stack_tailcallcnt()" but after this patch,
bpf_jit_stack_tailcallcnt() returns an offset that corresponds to 8 bytes
from prev sp (BPF_PPC_TAILCALL), not 56 bytes. When BPF_TRAMP_F_TAIL_CALL_CTX
is set, will the trampoline read/write to the wrong stack location?

Note: This appears to be fixed later in the same series by commit 6889ec3d3e10
("powerpc64/bpf: Tailcall handling with trampolines") which updates the
trampoline code to use BPF_PPC_TAILCALL instead of the hardcoded 7 * 8.
