ftrace/x86: Have arch x86_64 use breakpoints instead of stop machine
This method changes x86 to add a breakpoint to the mcount locations
instead of calling stop machine.
Now that iret can be handled by NMIs, we perform the following to
update code:
1) Add a breakpoint to all locations that will be modified
2) Sync all cores
3) Update all locations to be either a nop or call (except breakpoint
op)
4) Sync all cores
5) Remove the breakpoint with the new code.
6) Sync all cores

Added updates that Masami suggested:
Use unlikely(modifying_ftrace_code) in int3 trap to keep kprobes efficient.
Don't use NOTIFY_* in ftrace handler in int3 as it is not a notifier.
