We've had dynamic ftrace support for over 9 years since Steve first
wrote it, all the distros use dynamic, and static is basically
untested these days, so drop support for static ftrace.

We have some C code that we call into from real mode where we cannot
take any exceptions. Though the C functions themselves are mostly safe,
if these functions are traced, there is a possibility that we may take
an exception. For instance, in certain conditions, the ftrace code uses
WARN(), which uses a 'trap' to do its job.
For such scenarios, introduce a new field in paca 'ftrace_enabled',
which is checked on ftrace entry before continuing. This field can then
be set to zero to disable/pause ftrace, and set to a non-zero value to
resume ftrace.

Split ftrace_64.S further retaining the core ftrace 64-bit aspects
in ftrace_64.S and moving ftrace_caller() and ftrace_graph_caller() into
separate files based on -mprofile-kernel. The livepatch routines are all
now contained within the mprofile file.
