[PATCH 0/3] riscv/ftrace: make function graph use ftrace directly

In RISC-V architecture, when we enable the ftrace_graph tracer on some
functions, the function tracings on other functions will suffer extra
graph tracing work. In essence, graph_ops isn't limited by its func_hash
due to the global ftrace_graph_[regs]_call label. That should be corrected.

What inspires me is the commit 0c0593b45c9b ("x86/ftrace: Make function
graph use ftrace directly") that uses graph_ops::func function to install
return_hooker and makes the function called against its func_hash.

This series of patches makes function graph use ftrace directly for riscv.

If FTRACE_WITH_REGS isn't defined, ftrace_caller keeps ftrace_graph_call
so that it can be replaced with the calling of prepare_ftrace_return by
the enable/disable helper.

As for defining FTRACE_WITH_REGS, ftrace_caller is adjusted to save the
necessary regs against the pt_regs layout, so it can reasonably call the
graph_ops::func function - ftrace_graph_func. And ftrace_graph_[regs]_call
and its enable/disable helper aren't needed.

The tests generated by CONFIG_FTRACE_STARTUP_TEST have passed in the local
qemu-system-riscv64 virt machine. The following is the log during startup.
