ftrace: arm64: move from REGS to ARGS

This commit replaces arm64's support for FTRACE_WITH_REGS with support
for FTRACE_WITH_ARGS. This removes some overhead and complexity, and
removes some latent issues with inconsistent presentation of struct
pt_regs (which can only be reliably saved/restored at exception
boundaries).

FTRACE_WITH_REGS has been supported on arm64 since commit:

  3b23e4991fb66f6d ("arm64: implement ftrace with regs")

As noted in the commit message, the major reasons for implementing
FTRACE_WITH_REGS were:

(1) To make it possible to use the ftrace graph tracer with pointer
    authentication, where it's necessary to snapshot/manipulate the LR
    before it is signed by the instrumented function.

(2) To make it possible to implement LIVEPATCH in future, where we need
    to hook function entry before an instrumented function manipulates
    the stack or argument registers. Practically speaking, we need to
    preserve the argument/return registers, PC, LR, and SP.

Neither of these need a struct pt_regs, and only require the set of
registers which are live at function call/return boundaries. Our calling
convention is defined by "Procedure Call Standard for the Arm® 64-bit
Architecture (AArch64)" (AKA "AAPCS64"), which can currently be found
at:

  https://github.com/ARM-software/abi-aa/blob/main/aapcs64/aapcs64.rst

Per AAPCS64, all function call argument and return values are held in
the following GPRs:

* X0 - X7 : parameter / result registers
* X8      : indirect result location register
* SP      : stack pointer (AKA SP)

Additionally, ad function call boundaries, the following GPRs hold
context/return information:

* X29 : frame pointer (AKA FP)
* X30 : link register (AKA LR)

... and for ftrace we need to capture the instrumented address:

 * PC  : program counter

No other GPRs are relevant, as none of the other arguments hold
parameters or return values:

* X9  - X17 : temporaries, may be clobbered
* X18       : shadow call stack pointer (or temorary)
* X19 - X28 : callee saved

This patch implements FTRACE_WITH_ARGS for arm64, only saving/restoring
the minimal set of registers necessary. This is always sufficient to
manipulate control flow (e.g. for live-patching) or to manipulate
function arguments and return values.

This reduces the necessary stack usage from 336 bytes for pt_regs down
to 112 bytes for ftrace_regs + 32 bytes for two frame records, freeing
up 188 bytes. This could be reduced further with changes to the
unwinder.

As there is no longer a need to save different sets of registers for
different features, we no longer need distinct `ftrace_caller` and
`ftrace_regs_caller` trampolines. This allows the trampoline assembly to
be simpler, and simplifies code which previously had to handle the two
trampolines.

I've tested this with the ftrace selftests, where there are no
unexpected failures.
