bpf, x86, arm64: Enable jit by default when not built as always-on
After Spectre 2 fix via 290af86629b2 ("bpf: introduce BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON config") most major distros use BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON configuration these days which compiles out the BPF interpreter entirely and always enables the JIT. Also given recent fix in e1608f3fa857 ("bpf: Avoid setting bpf insns pages read-only when prog is jited"), we additionally avoid fragmenting the direct map for the BPF insns pages sitting in the general data heap since they are not used during execution. Latter is only needed when run through the interpreter. Since both x86 and arm64 JITs have seen a lot of exposure over the years, are generally most up to date and maintained, there is more downside in !BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON configurations to have the interpreter enabled by default rather than the JIT. Add a ARCH_WANT_DEFAULT_BPF_JIT config which archs can use to set the bpf_jit_{enable,kallsyms} to 1. Back in the days the bpf_jit_kallsyms knob was set to 0 by default since major distros still had /proc/kallsyms addresses exposed to unprivileged user space which is not the case anymore. Hence both knobs are set via BPF_JIT_DEFAULT_ON which is set to 'y' in case of BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON or ARCH_WANT_DEFAULT_BPF_JIT.
