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

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.

This is in response to an upstream discussion for the following patch:
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/1508217523-18885-1-git-send-email-kamalesh@linux.vnet.ibm.com
This should hopefully make it a lot easier for the ppc64le kernel module
code to support klp relocations.
The gcc-common.h and gcc-generate-rtl-pass.h header files are copied
from the upstream Linux source tree.
