ftrace/x86/extable: Add is_ftrace_trampoline() function
Stack traces that happen from function tracing check if the address
on the stack is a __kernel_text_address(). That is, is the address
kernel code. This calls core_kernel_text() which returns true
if the address is part of the builtin kernel code. It also calls
is_module_text_address() which returns true if the address belongs
to module code.
But what is missing is ftrace dynamically allocated trampolines.
These trampolines are allocated for individual ftrace_ops that
call the ftrace_ops callback functions directly. But if they do a
stack trace, the code checking the stack wont detect them as they
are neither core kernel code nor module address space.
Adding another field to ftrace_ops that also stores the size of
the trampoline assigned to it we can create a new function called
is_ftrace_trampoline() that returns true if the address is a
dynamically allocate ftrace trampoline. Note, it ignores trampolines
that are not dynamically allocated as they will return true with
the core_kernel_text() function.
