ARM: ftrace: use trampolines to keep .init.text in branching range

Kernel images that are large in comparison to the range of a direct
branch may fail to work as expected with ftrace, as patching a direct
branch to one of the core ftrace routines may not be possible from the
.init.text section, if it is emitted too far away from the normal .text
section.

This is more likely to affect Thumb2 builds, given that its range is
only -/+ 16 MiB (as opposed to ARM which has -/+ 32 MiB), but may occur
in either ISA.

To work around this, add a couple of trampolines to .init.text and
swap these in when the ftrace patching code is operating on callers in
.init.text.
