Some callbacks of the function tracer use rcu_read_lock(). This means that
there's places that can not be traced because RCU is not tracking the CPU
for various reasons (like NO_HZ_FULL and coming back from userspace).

Thes functions need to be marked so that callbacks that use RCU do not
trace them.
