sh: ftrace: Make code modification NMI safe.

This cribs the x86 implementation of ftrace_nmi_enter() and friends to
make ftrace_modify_code() NMI safe, particularly on SMP configurations.

For additional notes on the problems involved, see the comment below
ftrace_call_replace().

+/*
+ * Modifying code must take extra care. On an SMP machine, if
+ * the code being modified is also being executed on another CPU
+ * that CPU will have undefined results and possibly take a GPF.
+ * We use kstop_machine to stop other CPUS from exectuing code.
+ * But this does not stop NMIs from happening. We still need
+ * to protect against that. We separate out the modification of
+ * the code to take care of this.
+ *
+ * Two buffers are added: An IP buffer and a "code" buffer.
+ *
+ * 1) Put the instruction pointer into the IP buffer
+ *    and the new code into the "code" buffer.
+ * 2) Wait for any running NMIs to finish and set a flag that says
+ *    we are modifying code, it is done in an atomic operation.
+ * 3) Write the code
+ * 4) clear the flag.
+ * 5) Wait for any running NMIs to finish.
+ *
+ * If an NMI is executed, the first thing it does is to call
+ * "ftrace_nmi_enter". This will check if the flag is set to write
+ * and if it is, it will write what is in the IP and "code" buffers.
+ *
+ * The trick is, it does not matter if everyone is writing the same
+ * content to the code location. Also, if a CPU is executing code
+ * it is OK to write to that code location if the contents being written
+ * are the same as what exists.
