[PATCH v2 2/5] powerpc64/ftrace: Disable ftrace during kvm guest entry/exit

During guest entry/exit, we switch over to/from the guest MMU context.
While doing so, we set our state to KVM_GUEST_MODE_HOST_HV to note down
the fact that we cannot take any exceptions in the hypervisor code.

Since ftrace may be enabled and since it can result in us taking a trap,
disable ftrace by setting paca->ftrace_disabled. Once we exit the guest
and restore host MMU context, we re-enable ftrace.
