In RISCV, we must use an AUIPC + JALR pair to encode an immediate,
forming a jump that jumps to an address over 4K. This may cause errors
if we want to enable kernel preemption and remove dependency from
patching code with stop_machine(). For example, if a task was switched
out on auipc. And, if we changed the ftrace function before it was
switched back, then it would jump to an address that has updated 11:0
bits mixing with previous XLEN:12 part.

@Andy, could you give the patch a Signed-off-by? I just copy your most
important comment, so the first author should be you. First, let's fix
the problem caused by my previous patch, and you can continue your
ftrace preemption work.
