This patch implements CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS on LoongArch,
which allows a traced function's arguments (and some other registers)
to be captured into a struct pt_regs, allowing these to be inspected
and modified.

Once the function_graph tracer is enabled, a filtered function has the
following call sequence:
1) ftracer_caller ==> on/off by ftrace_make_call/ftrace_make_nop
2) ftrace_graph_caller
3) ftrace_graph_call ==> on/off by ftrace_en/disable_ftrace_graph_caller
4) prepare_ftrace_return
Considering the following DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS feature, it would be
more extendable to have a ftrace_graph_caller function, instead of
calling prepare_ftrace_return directly in ftrace_caller.

The compiler has inserted 2 NOPs before the regular function prologue.
T series registers are available and safe because of LoongArch's psABI.
At runtime, we can replace nop with bl to enable ftrace call and replace
bl with nop to disable ftrace call. The bl instruction requires us to
save the original RA value, so it saves RA at t0 here.
Details are:
| Compiled | Disabled | Enabled |
+------------+------------------------+------------------------+
| nop | move t0, ra | move t0, ra |
| nop | nop | bl ftrace_caller |
| func_body | func_body | func_body |
The RA value will be recovered by ftrace_regs_entry, and restored into
RA before returning to the regular function prologue. When a function is
not being traced, the "move t0, ra" is not harmful.
1) ftrace_make_call, ftrace_make_nop (in kernel/ftrace.c)
The two functions turn each recorded call site of filtered functions
into a call to ftrace_caller or nops.
2) ftracce_update_ftrace_func (in kernel/ftrace.c)
turns the nops at ftrace_call into a call to a generic entry for
function tracers.
3) ftrace_caller (in kernel/mcount_dyn.S)
The entry where each _mcount call sites calls to once they are
filtered to be traced.
