commit 51696f39cbee5bb684e7959c0c98b5f54548aa34 upstream.

LLVM does not emit optimal byteswap assembly, which results in high
stack usage in kvmhv_enter_nested_guest() due to the inlining of
byteswap_pt_regs(). With LLVM 12.0.0:

arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_hv_nested.c:289:6: error: stack frame size of
2512 bytes in function 'kvmhv_enter_nested_guest' [-Werror,-Wframe-larger-than=]
long kvmhv_enter_nested_guest(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu)
     ^
1 error generated.

While this gets fixed in LLVM, mark byteswap_pt_regs() as
noinline_for_stack so that it does not get inlined and break the build
due to -Werror by default in arch/powerpc/. Not inlining saves
approximately 800 bytes with LLVM 12.0.0:

arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_hv_nested.c:290:6: warning: stack frame size of
1728 bytes in function 'kvmhv_enter_nested_guest' [-Wframe-larger-than=]
long kvmhv_enter_nested_guest(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu)
     ^
1 warning generated.
