Mark ftrace mcount handler functions nokprobe since probing on these
functions probably reaches mcount recursivly during kprobe breakpoint
handler for some architecture(tested for riscv, arm64), and reenter
kprobe is treated as a fatal error, causes kernel panic.

Pesudo code below demonstrate this problem:

  mcount
    function_trace_call (probed)
      arch_breakpoint_handler
        arch_setup_singlestep [mcount]
          function_trace_call (probed)
            arch_breakpoint_handler
              reenter_kprobe
                BUG

This looks to me that the affected archs should be made more robust for this
case than to add this to the generic code.

OK, i will fix this problem in arch related code, thanks for feedback.

Yeah, kprobes (arch specific code) itself shouldn't be traced by ftrace usually.

Thank you,
