As ftrace function tracing would require modifying code that could
be executed in NMI context, which is not stopped with stop_machine(),
ftrace had to do a complex algorithm with various stages of setup
and memory barriers to make it work.
With the new breakpoint method, this is no longer required. The changes
to the code can be done without any problem in NMI context, as well as
without stop machine altogether. Remove the complex code as it is
no longer needed.
Also, a lot of the notrace annotations could be removed from the
NMI code as it is now safe to trace them. With the exception of
do_nmi itself, which does some special work to handle running in
the debug stack. The breakpoint method can cause NMIs to double
nest the debug stack if it's not setup properly, and that is done
in do_nmi(), thus that function must not be traced.
(Note the arch sh may want to do the same)
