_CHECK_FUNCTION interferes with partial evaluation

Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

A reminder of how _CHECK_FUNCTION looks like:

        tier2 op(_CHECK_FUNCTION, (func_version/2 -- )) {
            assert(PyStackRef_FunctionCheck(frame->f_funcobj));
            PyFunctionObject *func = (PyFunctionObject *)PyStackRef_AsPyObjectBorrow(frame->f_funcobj);
            DEOPT_IF(func->func_version != func_version);
        }

frame->f_funcobj becomes invalid once we start inlining functions. Thus we should "burn in" the function object version to be checked whenever possible, to not interfere with inlining and partial evaluation.

An added benefit is that the "burned in" version is also cheaper as it doesn't have to read from the frame struct, rather reading from the instruction itself in the JIT.

Has this already been discussed elsewhere?

Start with the _CHECK_FUNCTION tier2 operation shown in the issue and examine how frame->f_funcobj is used when functions are inlined. Review linked PR gh-126856 and determine whether the function version can be burned into the instruction without interfering with partial evaluation; done means the version check no longer depends on the invalidated frame reference where possible.
