nfp: bpf: optimise save/restore for R6~R9 based on register usage

When pre-processing the instructions, it is trivial to detect what
subprograms are using R6, R7, R8 or R9 as destination registers. If a
subprogram uses none of those, then we do not need to jump to the
subroutines dedicated to saving and restoring callee-saved registers in
its prologue and epilogue.

This patch introduces detection of callee-saved registers in subprograms
and prevents the JIT from adding calls to those subroutines whenever we
can: we save some instructions in the translated program, and some time
at runtime on BPF-to-BPF calls and returns.

If no subprogram needs to save those registers, we can avoid appending
the subroutines at the end of the program.
