[RFC PATCH v1 18/57] trace: Remove PAGE_SIZE compile-time constant assumption

To prepare for supporting boot-time page size selection, refactor code
to remove assumptions about PAGE_SIZE being compile-time constant. Code
intended to be equivalent when compile-time page size is active.

Convert BUILD_BUG_ON() BUG_ON() since the argument depends on PAGE_SIZE
and its not trivial to test against a page size limit.

Redefine FTRACE_KSTACK_ENTRIES so that "struct ftrace_stacks" is always
sized at 32K for 64-bit and 16K for 32-bit. It was previously defined in
terms of PAGE_SIZE (and worked out at the quoted sizes for a 4K page
size). But for 64K pages, the size expanded to 512K. Given the ftrace
stacks should be invariant to page size, this seemed like a waste. As a
side effect, it removes the PAGE_SIZE compile-time constant assumption
from this code.
