[PATCH v3 3/4] arm64: ftrace: Preserve original link register value in ftrace_regs

In order to be able to add pointer authentication and/or shadow call
stack support to the ftrace asm routines, it will need to reason about
whether or not the callsite's return address was updated to point to
return_to_handler(), as in this case, we want the authentication to
occur there and not before returning to the call site.
To make this a bit easier, preserve the value of register X9, which
carries the callsite's LR value upon entry to ftrace_caller, so in a
later patch, we can compare it to the callsite's effective LR upon
return, and omit the authentication if the caller will be returning via
return_to_handler().
