[RFC PATCH v3 08/26] ftrace: enable make ftrace nop before ftrace_init().

[Wang Nan]

This patch is for early kprobes.

Ftrace converts ftrace entries to nop when init, which will conflict
with early kprobes if it probe on an ftrace entry before such
conversion. For x86, ftrace entries is 'call' instruction which is
happends unboostable.

This patch provides ftrace_process_loc_early() to allow early kprobes to
convert target instruction before ftrace_init() is called. Only allows
ftrace_process_loc_early() called before ftrace_init().

However, for x86 only this patch is not enough. Due to ideal_nop() is
updated during setup_arch(), we are unable to ensure
ftrace_process_loc_early() choose similar nop as normal ftrace. I'll use
another mechanism to solve this problem.
