arm64: entry-ftrace.S: avoid open-coded {adr,ldr}_l
Some places in the kernel open-code sequences using ADRP for a symbol another instruction using a :lo12: relocation for that same symbol. These sequences are easy to get wrong, and more painful to read than is necessary. For these reasons, it is preferable to use the {adr,ldr,str}_l macros for these cases. This patch makes use of these in entry-ftrace.S, removing open-coded sequences using adrp. This results in a minor code change, since a temporary register is not used when generating the address for some symbols, but this is fine, as the value of the temporary register is not used elsewhere.
