[PATCH] riscv/ftrace: Set FTRACE_FORCE_LIST_FUNC if DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS is not set

With the following configuration options:

  CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER=y
  CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE is not set
  CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS is not set

Setting function tracer leads to Linux being stuck:

  echo function > /sys/kernel/tracing/current_tracer

The reason is: for static tracing, RISC-V mcount only support passing up
ip and parent_ip, if it does not force list func, some C side effects
occurs, where a function is called without passing a valid third
parameter, then kernel will trap into page fault when jump from mcount
to function_trace_call().

Fix this stuck issue by force kernel to use indirect list trace
function, when CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS is not set.
