In RISCV, we must use an AUIPC + JALR pair to encode an immediate,
forming a jump that jumps to an address over 4K. This may cause errors
if we want to enable kernel preemption and remove dependency from
patching code with stop_machine(). For example, if a task was switched
out on auipc. And, if we changed the ftrace function before it was
switched back, then it would jump to an address that has updated 11:0
bits mixing with previous XLEN:12 part.

p: patched area performed by dynamic ftrace
ftrace_prologue:
p|	REG_S	ra, -SZREG(sp)
p|	auipc	ra, 0x? ------------> preempted
					...
				change ftrace function
					...
p|	jalr	-?(ra) <------------- switched back
p|	REG_L	ra, -SZREG(sp)
func:
	xxx
	ret

To prevent such condition, we proposed a way to load or store target
addresses atomically. We store a natually aligned 32-bit relative
address into each ftrace prologue and use a jump at front to decide
whether we should take ftrace detour. To reduce footprint of ftrace
prologues, we clobber t0 and t1 and move ra (re-)storing into
ftrace_{regs_}caller. This is similar to ARM64, which also clobbers x9 at
each prologue.

.align 4
ftrace_prologue:
p|	j	ftrace_cont <----> func
p|	.word	0x? <=== store word to a 4B aligned address can be
			 considered atomic to read sides using load word
ftrace_cont:
	auipc	t0, 0
	lw	t1, -4(t0) <=== read side
	add	t0, t0, t1
	jalr	t0, t0
func:
	xxx
	ret
