ftrace/x86_32: Set ftrace_stub to weak to prevent gcc from using short jumps to it

With new binutils, gcc may get smart with its optimization and change a jmp
from a 5 byte jump to a 2 byte one even though it was jumping to a global
function. But that global function existed within a 2 byte radius, and gcc
was able to optimize it. Unfortunately, that jump was also being modified
when function graph tracing begins. Since ftrace expected that jump to be 5
bytes, but it was only two, it overwrote code after the jump, causing a
crash.

This was fixed for x86_64 with commit 8329e818, with the same subject as
this commit, but nothing was done for x86_32.
