riscv: ftrace: Reduce the detour code size to half

commit 6724a76cff85ee271bbbff42ac527e4643b2ec52 upstream.

Use a temporary register to reduce the size of detour code from 16 bytes to
8 bytes. The previous implementation is from 'commit afc76b8b8011 ("riscv:
Using PATCHABLE_FUNCTION_ENTRY instead of MCOUNT")'.

Before the patch:
<func_prolog>:
 0: REG_S  ra, -SZREG(sp)
 4: auipc  ra, ?
 8: jalr   ?(ra)
12: REG_L  ra, -SZREG(sp)
 (func_boddy)

After the patch:
<func_prolog>:
 0: auipc  t0, ?
 4: jalr   t0, ?(t0)
 (func_boddy)

This patch not just reduces the size of detour code, but also fixes an
important issue:

An Ftrace callback registered with FTRACE_OPS_FL_IPMODIFY flag can
actually change the instruction pointer, e.g. to "replace" the given
kernel function with a new one, which is needed for livepatching, etc.

In this case, the trampoline (ftrace_regs_caller) would not return to
<func_prolog+12> but would rather jump to the new function. So, "REG_L
ra, -SZREG(sp)" would not run and the original return address would not
be restored. The kernel is likely to hang or crash as a result.

This can be easily demonstrated if one tries to "replace", say,
cmdline_proc_show() with a new function with the same signature using
instruction_pointer_set(&fregs->regs, new_func_addr) in the Ftrace
callback.
