[PATCH v6 16/18] arm64: ftrace: use function_nocfi for ftrace_call

With CONFIG_CFI_CLANG, the compiler replaces function pointers with
jump table addresses, which breaks dynamic ftrace as the address of
ftrace_call is replaced with the address of ftrace_call.cfi_jt. Use
function_nocfi() to get the address of the actual function instead.
