ftrace: allow archs to preform pre and post process for code modification
This patch creates the weak functions: ftrace_arch_code_modify_prepare and ftrace_arch_code_modify_post_process that are called before and after the stop machine is called to modify the kernel text. If the arch needs to do pre or post processing, it only needs to define these functions. [ Update: Ingo Molnar suggested using the name ftrace_arch_code_modify_* over using ftrace_arch_modify_* ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
