This series adds ftrace direct call support to arm64.
This makes BPF tracing programs (fentry/fexit/fmod_ret/lsm) work on arm64.

It is meant to be taken by the arm64 tree but it depends on the
trace-direct-v6.3-rc3 tag of the linux-trace tree:
  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace.git
That tag was created by Steven Rostedt so the arm64 tree can pull the prior work
this depends on. [1]

Thanks to the ftrace refactoring under that tag, an ftrace_ops backing a ftrace
direct call will only ever point to *one* direct call. This means we can look up
the direct called trampoline address stored in the ops from the ftrace_caller
trampoline in the case when the destination would be out of reach of a BL
instruction at the ftrace callsite. This fixes limitations of previous attempts
such as [2].

This series has been tested on arm64 with:
1- CONFIG_FTRACE_SELFTEST
2- samples/ftrace/*.ko (cf: patch 3)
3- tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_progs (cf: patch 4)

Changes since v4 [3]:
- *Actually* added "BTI C" instructions at the beginning of each ftrace direct
  call sample (v4 was supposed to do that but I forgot to git commit --amend...)
