s390/ftrace: use expoline for indirect branches

commit 23a4d7fd34856da8218c4cfc23dba7a6ec0a423a upstream.

The return from the ftrace_stub, _mcount, ftrace_caller and
return_to_handler functions is done with "br %r14" and "br %r1".
These are indirect branches as well and need to use execute
trampolines for CONFIG_EXPOLINE=y.

The ftrace_caller function is a special case as it returns to the
start of a function and may only use %r0 and %r1. For a pre z10
machine the standard execute trampoline uses a LARL + EX to do
this, but this requires *two* registers in the range %r1..%r15.
To get around this the 'br %r1' located in the lowcore is used,
then the EX instruction does not need an address register.
But the lowcore trick may only be used for pre z14 machines,
with noexec=on the mapping for the first page may not contain
instructions. The solution for that is an ALTERNATIVE in the
expoline THUNK generated by 'GEN_BR_THUNK %r1' to switch to
EXRL, this relies on the fact that a machine that supports
noexec=on has EXRL as well.
