[PATCH] arm64: ftrace: don't dereference a probably invalid address

[Mark-PK Tsai]

Address in __mcount_loc may be invalid if somthing goes wrong.
On our arm64 platform, the bug in recordmcount make kernel
crash in ftrace_init().

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210607023839.26387-1-mark-pk.tsai@mediatek.com/

Return -EFAULT if we are dealing with out-of-range condition
to prevent dereference the invalid address in ftrace_bug(),
then the kernel can disable ftrace safely for problematic
__mcount_loc.
