ftrace: make extra rcu_is_watching() validation check optional
Introduce CONFIG_FTRACE_VALIDATE_RCU_IS_WATCHING config option to control whether ftrace low-level code performs additional rcu_is_watching()-based validation logic in an attempt to catch noinstr violations. This check is expected to never be true and is mostly useful for low-level validation of ftrace subsystem invariants. For most users it should probably be kept disabled to eliminate unnecessary runtime overhead. This improves BPF multi-kretprobe (relying on ftrace and rethook infrastructure) runtime throughput by 2%, according to BPF benchmarks ([0]).
