Mark ftrace mcount handler functions nokprobe since probing on these
functions probably reaches mcount recursivly during kprobe breakpoint
handler for some architecture(tested for riscv, arm64), and reenter
kprobe is treated as a fatal error, causes kernel panic.

Pesudo code below demonstrate this problem:

  mcount
    function_trace_call (probed)
      arch_breakpoint_handler
        arch_setup_singlestep [mcount]
          function_trace_call (probed)
            arch_breakpoint_handler
              reenter_kprobe
                BUG
