After b0f82b81fe ("perf: Drop the skip
argument from perf_arch_fetch_regs_caller") the build broke on sparc64
due to the lack of a module symbol export of __perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs.
But that assembler helper can actually be complete eliminated now that
the semantics of this interface have been greatly simplified.

Drop this argument now that we always want to rewind only to the
state of the first caller.
It means frame pointers are not necessary anymore to reliably get
the source of an event. But this also means we need this helper
to be a macro now, as an inline function is not an option since
we need to know when to provide a default implentation.

We provide regs->tstate, regs->tpc, regs->tnpc and
regs->u_regs[UREG_FP].
regs->tstate is necessary for:
user_mode() (via perf_exclude_event())
perf_misc_flags() (via perf_prepare_sample())
regs->tpc is necessary for:
perf_instruction_pointer() (via perf_prepare_sample())
and regs->u_regs[UREG_FP] is necessary for:
perf_callchain() (via perf_prepare_sample())
The regs->tnpc value is provided just to be tidy.

o Move all files from sparc64/kernel/ to sparc/kernel
- rename as appropriate
o Update sparc/Makefile to the changes
o Update sparc/kernel/Makefile to include the sparc64 files
NOTE: This commit changes link order on sparc64!
Link order had to change for either of sparc32 and sparc64.
And assuming sparc64 see more testing than sparc32 change link
order on sparc64 where issues will be caught faster.
