Vasily Gorbik f8c2602733 s390/ftrace: fix ftrace_update_ftrace_func implementation
s390 enforces DYNAMIC_FTRACE if FUNCTION_TRACER is selected.
At the same time implementation of ftrace_caller is not compliant with
HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE since it doesn't provide implementation of
ftrace_update_ftrace_func() and calls ftrace_trace_function() directly.

The subtle difference is that during ftrace code patching ftrace
replaces function tracer via ftrace_update_ftrace_func() and activates
it back afterwards. Unexpected direct calls to ftrace_trace_function()
during ftrace code patching leads to nullptr-dereferences when tracing
is activated for one of functions which are used during code patching.
Those function currently are:
copy_from_kernel_nofault()
copy_from_kernel_nofault_allowed()
preempt_count_sub() [with debug_defconfig]
preempt_count_add() [with debug_defconfig]

 ==================================================================

To fix that introduce ftrace_func callback to be called from
ftrace_caller and update it in ftrace_update_ftrace_func().

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
