[RFC PATCH 2/5] livepatch: ftrace: add ftrace_function_stub_ip function

[Li Bin]

The function of ftrace_function_stub_ip is to convert the function
address to the ftrace stub calling instruction address.

This is needed for the platform that the complier does not support
"profile before prologue" feature and the profile calling instruction
is not at begin of the function.

EXAMPLES:
...
stub_ip = ftrace_function_stub_ip(func_addr);
ftrace_set_filter_ip(&ftrace_ops, stub_ip, 0, 0);
register_ftrace_function(&ftrace_ops);
...
