Subject: [PATCH 5.9 390/391] time/sched_clock: Mark sched_clock_read_begin/retry() as notrace

From: Quanyang Wang <quanyang.wang@...driver.com>

commit 4cd2bb12981165f865d2b8ed92b446b52310ef74 upstream.

Since sched_clock_read_begin() and sched_clock_read_retry() are called
by notrace function sched_clock(), they shouldn't be traceable either,
or else ftrace_graph_caller will run into a dead loop on the path
as below (arm for instance):

  ftrace_graph_caller()
    prepare_ftrace_return()
      function_graph_enter()
        ftrace_push_return_trace()
          trace_clock_local()
            sched_clock()
              sched_clock_read_begin/retry()

Fixes: 1b86abc1c645 ("sched_clock: Expose struct clock_read_data")
