[PATCH] arm64: Don't insert a BTI instruction at inner labels

[Jean-Philippe Brucker]

Some ftrace features are broken since commit 714a8d02ca4d ("arm64: asm:
Override SYM_FUNC_START when building the kernel with BTI"). For example
the function_graph tracer:

$ echo function_graph > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
[   36.107016] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 115 at kernel/trace/ftrace.c:2691 ftrace_modify_all_code+0xc8/0x14c

When ftrace_modify_graph_caller() attempts to write a branch at
ftrace_graph_call, it finds the "BTI J" instruction inserted by
SYM_INNER_LABEL() instead of a NOP, and aborts.

It turns out we don't currently need the BTI landing pads inserted by
SYM_INNER_LABEL:

* ftrace_call and ftrace_graph_call are only used for runtime patching
  of the active tracer. The patched code is not reached from a branch.
* install_el2_stub is reached from a CBZ instruction, which doesn't
  change PSTATE.BTYPE.
* __guest_exit is reached from B instructions in the hyp-entry vectors,
  which aren't subject to BTI checks either.

Remove the BTI annotation from SYM_INNER_LABEL.

Tested on QEMU with and without BTI, but only ftrace not KVM.
