ftrace: Add return address pointer to ftrace_ret_stack

Browse source 
Storing this value will help prevent unwinders from getting out of sync
with the function graph tracer ret_stack.  Now instead of needing a
stateful iterator, they can compare the return address pointer to find
the right ret_stack entry.

Note that an array of 50 ftrace_ret_stack structs is allocated for every
task.  So when an arch implements this, it will add either 200 or 400
bytes of memory usage per task (depending on whether it's a 32-bit or
64-bit platform).

Similarly, when you call ftrace_return_to_handler(), pass it the frame pointer.
HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_RET_ADDR_PTR
--------------------------------
An arch may pass in a pointer to the return address on the stack. This
prevents potential stack unwinding issues where the unwinder gets out of
sync with ret_stack and the wrong addresses are reported by
ftrace_graph_ret_addr().
Adding support for it is easy: just define the macro in asm/ftrace.h and
pass the return address pointer as the 'retp' argument to
ftrace_push_return_trace().
HAVE_FTRACE_NMI_ENTER
