Since the backport commit eea46baf1451 ("ftrace: Fix possible use-after-free issue in ftrace_location()") on linux-5.4.y branch, the old ftrace_int3_handler()->ftrace_location() path has included rcu_read_lock(), which has mcount location inside and leads to potential double fault. Replace rcu_read_lock/unlock with preempt_enable/disable notrace macros so that the mcount location does not appear on the int3 handler path. This fix is specific to linux-5.4.y branch, the only branch still using ftrace_int3_handler with commit e60b613df8b6 ("ftrace: Fix possible use-after-free issue in ftrace_location()") backported. It also avoids the need to backport the code conversion to text_poke() on this branch.
