[v6,01/39] ftrace: Unpoison ftrace_regs in ftrace_ops_list_func()

Commit Message

Architectures use assembly code to initialize ftrace_regs and call
ftrace_ops_list_func(). Therefore, from the KMSAN's point of view,
ftrace_regs is poisoned on ftrace_ops_list_func entry(). This causes
KMSAN warnings when running the ftrace testsuite.

Fix by trusting the architecture-specific assembly code and always
unpoisoning ftrace_regs in ftrace_ops_list_func.

The issue was not encountered on x86_64 so far only by accident:
assembly-allocated ftrace_regs was overlapping a stale partially
unpoisoned stack frame. Poisoning stack frames before returns [1]
makes the issue appear on x86_64 as well.
