[PATCH 2/2] ftrace: prevent preemption in perf_ftrace_function_call()

With CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT we observed reports like:

  BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible
  caller is perf_ftrace_function_call+0x6f/0x2e0
  CPU: 1 PID: 680 Comm: a.out Not tainted
  Call Trace:
   <TASK>
   dump_stack_lvl+0x8d/0xcf
   check_preemption_disabled+0x104/0x110
   ? optimize_nops.isra.7+0x230/0x230
   ? text_poke_bp_batch+0x9f/0x310
   perf_ftrace_function_call+0x6f/0x2e0
   ...
   __text_poke+0x5/0x620
   text_poke_bp_batch+0x9f/0x310

This telling us the CPU could be changed after task is preempted, and
the checking on CPU before preemption will be invalid.

This patch just turn off preemption in perf_ftrace_function_call()
to prevent CPU changing.
