As far as I understand it, Ftrace for RISC-V has had this problem since
support for FTRACE_WITH_REGS was added. FTRACE_WITH_ARGS inherited it.
So, it should probably be as follows:
Fixes: aea4c671fb98 ("riscv/ftrace: Add DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS support")
It is more of a workaround rather than a fix though, because it is still
undecided where the problem is, in the kernel or in LLVM/clang. That
discussion went nowhere, unfortunately, so it is better to use a
workaround and move on, IMO.
