Subject: [PATCH] rcu: ftrace: avoid tracing a few functions executed in multi_cpu_stop()

A few functions are in the call chain of rcu_momentary_dyntick_idle()
which is executed in multi_cpu_stop() and marked notrace. They are running
in traced when ftrace modify code. This may cause non-ftrace_modify_code
CPUs stall:
