ftrace: use dynamic patching for updating mcount calls
This patch replaces the indirect call to the mcount function
pointer with a direct call that will be patched by the
dynamic ftrace routines.
On boot up, the mcount function calls the ftace_stub function.
When the dynamic ftrace code is initialized, the ftrace_stub
is replaced with a call to the ftrace_record_ip, which records
the instruction pointers of the locations that call it.
Later, the ftraced daemon will call kstop_machine and patch all
the locations to nops.
When a ftrace is enabled, the original calls to mcount will now
be set top call ftrace_caller, which will do a direct call
to the registered ftrace function. This direct call is also patched
when the function that should be called is updated.
All patching is performed by a kstop_machine routine to prevent any
type of race conditions that is associated with modifying code
on the fly.
