powerpc: Move code patching code into arch/powerpc/lib/code-patching.c
We currently have a few routines for patching code in asm/system.h, because they didn't fit anywhere else. I'd like to clean them up a little and add some more, so first move them into a dedicated C file - they don't need to be inlined. While we're moving the code, drop create_function_call(), it's intended caller never got merged and will be replaced in future with something different.
