gcc-plugin: run the plugin at an earlier pass 

On ppc64le, building drivers/media/i2c/cx25840/cx25840.ko with GCC 4.85,
the plugin triggers the following errors:

  {standard input}: Assembler messages:

The problem is that the plugin nops were inserted too late.  GCC laid
out the code with knowledge about the distance between branches, but
then the plugin came along after that and increased the branch distances
by inserting the nops.

Fix it by inserting the nops as early as possible.  The 'vregs' pass is
where the insn codes get initialized, so run the plugin immediately
afterwards.
