Alexander Lobakin 049a68efbf MIPS: module: optimize module relocations processing
For now, module relocation functions are implemented as an array
of handlers of type reloc_handler_t.

Convert that array into a single switch-case function to:
 - remove unused arguments;
 - change the return type of simple handlers to void;
 - remove the array and don't use any data at all;
 - avoid using indirect calls;
 - allow the compiler to inline and greatly optimize
   the relocation function[s].

The result on MIPS32 R2 with GCC 10.2 -O2 is:

scripts/bloat-o-meter -c arch/mips/kernel/__module.o arch/mips/kernel/module.o

All functions were collapsed into a single one that is called
directly by $(srctree)/kernel/module.c.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
