arm64: ftrace: stop using kstop_machine to enable/disable tracing
For ftrace on arm64, kstop_machine which is hugely disruptive to a running system is not needed to convert nops to ftrace calls or back, because that to be modified instrucions, that NOP, B or BL, are all safe instructions which called "concurrent modification and execution of instructions", that can be executed by one thread of execution as they are being modified by another thread of execution without requiring explicit synchronization.
