From: Chenghao Duan <duanchenghao@kylinos.cn>

commit 45cb47c628dfbd1994c619f3eac271a780602826 upstream.

Refactor the register restoration sequence in the ftrace_common_return
function to clearly distinguish between the logic of normal returns and
direct call returns in function tracing scenarios. The logic is as
follows:

1. In the case of a normal return, the execution flow returns to the
traced function, and ftrace must ensure that the register data is
consistent with the state when the function was entered.

ra = parent return address; t0 = traced function return address.

2. In the case of a direct call return, the execution flow jumps to the
custom trampoline function, and ftrace must ensure that the register
data is consistent with the state when ftrace was entered.

ra = traced function return address; t0 = parent return address.
