Paolo Bonzini d157e540ed cpu-exec: simplify jump cache management
Unless I'm missing something egregious, the jmp cache is only every
populated with a valid entry by the same thread that reads the cache.
Therefore, the contents of any valid entry are always consistent and
there is no need for any acquire/release magic.

Indeed ->tb has to be accessed with atomics, because concurrent
invalidations would otherwise cause data races.  But ->pc is only ever
accessed by one thread, and accesses to ->tb and ->pc within tb_lookup
can never race with another tb_lookup.  While the TranslationBlock
(especially the flags) could be modified by a concurrent invalidation,
store-release and load-acquire operations on the cache entry would
not add any additional ordering beyond what you get from performing
the accesses within a single thread.

Because of this, there is really nothing to win in splitting the CF_PCREL
and !CF_PCREL paths.  It is easier to just always use the ->pc field in
the jump cache.

I noticed this while working on splitting commit 8ed558ec0c
("accel/tcg: Introduce TARGET_TB_PCREL", 2022-10-04) into multiple
pieces, for the sake of finding a more fine-grained bisection
result for https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/2092.
It does not (and does not intend to) fix that issue; therefore
it may make sense to not commit it until the root cause
of issue #2092 is found.
