[PATCH v2 3/6] riscv: ftrace: prepare ftrace for atomic code patching

We use an AUIPC+JALR pair to jump into a ftrace trampoline. Since
instruction fetch can break down to 4 byte at a time, it is impossible
to update two instructions without a race. In order to mitigate it, we
initialize the patchable entry to AUIPC + NOP4. Then, the run-time code
patching can change NOP4 to JALR to eable/disable ftrcae from a
function. This limits the reach of each ftrace entry to +-2KB displacing
from ftrace_caller.

Starting from the trampoline, we add a level of indirection for it to
reach ftrace caller target. Now, it loads the target address from a
memory location, then perform the jump. This enable the kernel to update
the target atomically.

The ordering of reading/updating the targert address should be guarded
by generic ftrace code, where it sends smp_rmb ipi.
