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 new don't-stop-the-world text patching on change only one RISC-V
instruction:

   |  -8: &ftrace_ops of the associated tracer function.
   | <ftrace enable>:
   |   0: auipc  t0, hi(ftrace_caller)
   |   4: jalr   t0, lo(ftrace_caller)
   |
   |  -8: &ftrace_nop_ops
   | <ftrace disable>:
   |   0: auipc  t0, hi(ftrace_caller)
   |   4: nop

This means that f+0x0 is fixed, and should not be claimed by ftrace,
e.g. kprobe should be able to put a probe in f+0x0. Thus, we adjust the
offset and MCOUNT_INSN_SIZE accordingly.
