[PATCH net-next 1/9] nfp: bpf: add helper for emitting nops

[Jakub Kicinski]

The need to emitting a few nops will become more common soon
as we add stack and map support.  Add a helper.  This allows
for code to be shorter but also may be handy for marking the
nops with a "reason" to ease applying optimizations.
