[PATCH v4] riscv: fix oops caused by irqsoff latency tracer

The trace_hardirqs_{on,off}() require the caller to setup frame pointer
properly. This because these two functions use macro 'CALLER_ADDR1' (aka.
__builtin_return_address(1)) to acquire caller info. If the $fp is used
for other purpose, the code generated this macro (as below) could trigger
memory access fault.

   0xffffffff8011510e <+80>:    ld      a1,-16(s0)
   0xffffffff80115112 <+84>:    ld      s2,-8(a1)  # <-- paging fault here

The oops message during booting if compiled with 'irqoff' tracer enabled:

[    0.046402][    T0] [<ffffffff80003b94>] restore_all+0x12/0x6e

This because the $fp(aka. $s0) register is not used as frame pointer in the
assembly entry code.

	resume_kernel:
		REG_L s0, TASK_TI_PREEMPT_COUNT(tp)
		bnez s0, restore_all
		REG_L s0, TASK_TI_FLAGS(tp)
                andi s0, s0, _TIF_NEED_RESCHED
                beqz s0, restore_all
                call preempt_schedule_irq
                j restore_all

To fix above issue, here we add one extra level wrapper for function
trace_hardirqs_{on,off}() so they can be safely called by low level entry
code.
