[RFC PATCH v2 2/5] powerpc/ftrace: Remove pointer to struct module from dyn_arch_ftrace

Pointer to struct module is only relevant for ftrace records belonging
to kernel modules. Having this field in dyn_arch_ftrace wastes memory
for all ftrace records belonging to the kernel. Remove the same in
favour of looking up the module from the ftrace record address, similar
to other architectures.
