Consolidate the saving/restoring GPs (except zero, ra, sp, gp,
tp and t0) into save_from_x6_to_x31/restore_from_x6_to_x31 macros.
No functional change intended.

Use a temporary register to reduce the size of detour code from 16 bytes to
8 bytes. The previous implementation is from 'commit afc76b8b8011 ("riscv:
Using PATCHABLE_FUNCTION_ENTRY instead of MCOUNT")'.
Before the patch:
<func_prolog>:
0: REG_S ra, -SZREG(sp)
4: auipc ra, ?
8: jalr ?(ra)
12: REG_L ra, -SZREG(sp)
(func_boddy)
After the patch:
<func_prolog>:
0: auipc t0, ?
4: jalr t0, ?(t0)
(func_boddy)
This patch not just reduces the size of detour code, but also fixes an
important issue:
An Ftrace callback registered with FTRACE_OPS_FL_IPMODIFY flag can
actually change the instruction pointer, e.g. to "replace" the given
kernel function with a new one, which is needed for livepatching, etc.
In this case, the trampoline (ftrace_regs_caller) would not return to
<func_prolog+12> but would rather jump to the new function. So, "REG_L
ra, -SZREG(sp)" would not run and the original return address would not
be restored. The kernel is likely to hang or crash as a result.
This can be easily demonstrated if one tries to "replace", say,
cmdline_proc_show() with a new function with the same signature using
instruction_pointer_set(&fregs->regs, new_func_addr) in the Ftrace
callback.

This patch changes the current detour mechanism of dynamic ftrace
which has been discussed during LPC 2020 RISCV-MC [1].
Before the patch, we used mcount for detour:
<funca>:
addi sp,sp,-16
sd ra,8(sp)
sd s0,0(sp)
addi s0,sp,16
mv a5,ra
mv a0,a5
auipc ra,0x0 -> nop
jalr -296(ra) <_mcount@plt> ->nop
...
After the patch, we use nop call site area for detour:
<funca>:
nop -> REG_S ra, -SZREG(sp)
nop -> auipc ra, 0x?
nop -> jalr ?(ra)
nop -> REG_L ra, -SZREG(sp)
...
The mcount mechanism is mixed with gcc function prologue which is
not very clear. The patchable function entry just put 16 bytes nop
before the front of the function prologue which could be filled
with a separated detour mechanism.

Once the function_graph tracer is enabled, a filtered function has the
following call sequence:
* ftracer_caller ==> on/off by ftrace_make_call/ftrace_make_nop
* ftrace_graph_caller
* ftrace_graph_call ==> on/off by ftrace_en/disable_ftrace_graph_caller
* prepare_ftrace_return
Considering the following DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS feature, it would be
more extendable to have a ftrace_graph_caller function, instead of
calling prepare_ftrace_return directly in ftrace_caller.

We now have dynamic ftrace with the following added items:
* ftrace_make_call, ftrace_make_nop (in kernel/ftrace.c)
The two functions turn each recorded call site of filtered functions
into a call to ftrace_caller or nops
* ftracce_update_ftrace_func (in kernel/ftrace.c)
turns the nops at ftrace_call into a call to a generic entry for
function tracers.
* ftrace_caller (in kernel/mcount-dyn.S)
The entry where each _mcount call sites calls to once they are
filtered to be traced.
Also, this patch fixes the semantic problems in mcount.S, which will be
treated as only a reference implementation once we have the dynamic
ftrace.
