[PATCH 4/5] ftrace: do not trace nmi callers in kernel directory

[Steven Rostedt]

The dynamic ftrace code performs run time modification of the code text
section. This is not safe to do unless all other CPUS are halted. Because
there is no good way to halt NMIs while doing the modification, we must
make sure that the NMIs will not execute code that will be modified.

This patch adds notrace annotation to functions called by NMIs in the
kernel directory.
