[RFC PATCH v4 22/34] ftrace: allow search ftrace addr before ftrace fully inited.

This patch enables ftrace_location() to be used before ftrace_init().
The first user should be early kprobes, which can insert kprobes to
kernel code even before setup_arch() finishes. This patch gives it a
chance to determine whether it is probing ftrace entries and allows it
do some special treatment.

ftrace_cmp_ips_insn() is introduced to make early ftrace_location()
behavior consistent with normal ftrace_location(). With existing
ftrace_cmp_ips(), searching an address in middle of an instruction will
fail, which is inconsistent with ftrace_cmp_recs() used by normal
ftrace_location().

With this and previous patch ftrace_location() now is able to be called
in and after setup_arch().
