rcu,ftrace: Fix ftrace recursion

Browse source 
Kim reported that perf-ftrace made his box unhappy. It turns out that
commit:

  ff5c4f5cad ("rcu/tree: Mark the idle relevant functions noinstr")

removed one too many notrace qualifiers, probably due to there not being
a helpful comment.

This commit therefore reinstates the notrace and adds a comment to avoid
losing it again.

[ paulmck: Apply Steven Rostedt's feedback on the comment. ]

* NMI handler, return true.

* Make notrace because it can be called by the internal functions of
* ftrace, and making this notrace removes unnecessary recursion calls.
