We have some C code that we call into from real mode where we cannot
take any exceptions. Though the C functions themselves are mostly safe,
if these functions are traced, there is a possibility that we may take
an exception. For instance, in certain conditions, the ftrace code uses
WARN(), which uses a 'trap' to do its job.
For such scenarios, introduce a new field in paca 'ftrace_disabled',
which is checked on ftrace entry before continuing. This field can then
be set to a non-zero value to disable/pause ftrace, and reset to zero to
resume ftrace.

Changes since v2:
- Move paca->ftrace_disabled out of CONFIG_BOOK3S_64.
- Disable tracing when asked for, not the other way around.
