Unwrap vm_call_cfunc indirection on JIT

for VM_METHOD_TYPE_CFUNC.

This has been known to decrease optcarrot fps:

and I deleted this capability in an early stage of YARV-MJIT development:
0ab130feee

I suspect either of the following things could be the cause:

* Directly calling vm_call_cfunc requires more optimization effort in GCC,
  resulting in 30ms-ish compilation time increase for such methods and
  decreasing the number of methods compiled in a benchmarked period.

* Code size increase => icache miss hit

These hypotheses could be verified by some methodologies. However, I'd
like to introduce this regardless of the result because this blocks
inlining C method's definition.

I may revert this commit when I give up to implement inlining C method
definition, which requires this change.

Microbenchmark-wise, this gives slight performance improvement:
