Michael reported that we are seeing ftrace bug on bootup when KASAN is
enabled, and if we are using -fpatchable-function-entry:
ftrace: allocating 47780 entries in 18 pages
ftrace-powerpc: 0xc0000000020b3d5c: No module provided for non-kernel address
------------[ ftrace bug ]------------

With CONFIG_FTRACE_MCOUNT_USE_PATCHABLE_FUNCTION_ENTRY=y and
CONFIG_KASAN=y, compiler emits nops in functions that it generates for
registering and unregistering global variables (unlike with -pg and
-mprofile-kernel where calls to _mcount() are not generated in those
functions). Those functions then end up in INIT_TEXT and EXIT_TEXT
respectively. We don't expect to see any profiled functions in
EXIT_TEXT, so ftrace_init_nop() assumes that all addresses that aren't
in the core kernel text belongs to a module. Since these functions do
not match that criteria, we see the above bug.
Address this by having ftrace ignore all locations in the text exit
sections of vmlinux.
