load_pointer() is already a static inline function.
Let's move it into filter.h so BPF JIT implementations can reuse this
function.

This patch is based on discussion with Alexei in the context of
reusing load_pointer for upcoming arm64 BPF JIT compiler. [1]

Compile tested on x86_64 and arm64.

Fine by me, but since you're exporting this into a header,
please give this a more specific name, such as bpf_load_pointer(),
for example.

Thanks,
