bpf, arm64: Inline bpf_get_current_task/_btf() helpers

On ARM64, the pointer to task_struct is always available in the sp_el0
register and therefore the calls to bpf_get_current_task() and
bpf_get_current_task_btf() can be inlined into a single MRS instruction.

Here is the difference before and after this change:

Before:

; struct task_struct *task = bpf_get_current_task_btf();
  54:   mov     x10, #0xffffffffffff7978        // #-34440
  58:   movk    x10, #0x802b, lsl #16
  5c:   movk    x10, #0x8000, lsl #32
  60:   blr     x10          -------------->    0xffff8000802b7978 <+0>:     mrs     x0, sp_el0
  64:   add     x7, x0, #0x0 <--------------    0xffff8000802b797c <+4>:     ret

After:

; struct task_struct *task = bpf_get_current_task_btf();
  54:   mrs     x7, sp_el0

This shows around 1% performance improvement in artificial microbenchmark.
