mm: add generic function_nocfi macro
With CONFIG_CFI_CLANG, the compiler replaces function addresses in instrumented C code with jump table addresses. This means that __pa_symbol(function) returns the physical address of the jump table entry instead of the actual function, which may not work as the jump table code will immediately jump to a virtual address that may not be mapped. To avoid this address space confusion, this change adds a generic definition for function_nocfi(), which architectures that support CFI can override. The typical implementation of would use inline assembly to take the function address, which avoids compiler instrumentation.
