arm64: ftrace: add support for far branches to dynamic ftrace

Currently, dynamic ftrace support in the arm64 kernel assumes that all
core kernel code is within range of ordinary branch instructions that
occur in module code, which is usually the case, but is no longer
guaranteed now that we have support for module PLTs and address space
randomization.

Since on arm64, all patching of branch instructions involves function
calls to the same entry point [ftrace_caller()], we can emit the modules
with a trampoline that has unlimited range, and patch both the trampoline
itself and the branch instruction to redirect the call via the trampoline.
