If an error happens in ftrace, ftrace_kill() will prevent disarming
kprobes. Eventually, the ftrace_ops associated with the kprobes will be
freed, yet the kprobes will still be active, and when triggered, they
will use the freed memory, likely resulting in a page fault and panic.
This behavior can be reproduced quite easily, by creating a kprobe and
then triggering a ftrace_kill(). For simplicity, we can simulate an
ftrace error with a kernel module like [1]:
[1]: https://github.com/brenns10/kernel_stuff/tree/master/ftrace_killer
sudo perf probe --add commit_creds
sudo perf trace -e probe:commit_creds
# In another terminal
make
sudo insmod ftrace_killer.ko # calls ftrace_kill(), simulating bug
# Back to perf terminal
# ctrl-c
sudo perf probe --del commit_creds
After a short period, a page fault and panic would occur as the kprobe
continues to execute and uses the freed ftrace_ops. While ftrace_kill()
is supposed to be used only in extreme circumstances, it is invoked in
FTRACE_WARN_ON() and so there are many places where an unexpected bug
could be triggered, yet the system may continue operating, possibly
without the administrator noticing. If ftrace_kill() does not panic the
system, then we should do everything we can to continue operating,
rather than leave a ticking time bomb.

As the documentation explained, ftrace_test_recursion_trylock()
and ftrace_test_recursion_unlock() were supposed to disable and
enable preemption properly, however currently this work is done
outside of the function, which could be missing by mistake.
And since the internal using of trace_test_and_set_recursion()
and trace_clear_recursion() also require preemption disabled, we
can just merge the logical.
This patch will make sure the preemption has been disabled when
trace_test_and_set_recursion() return bit >= 0, and
trace_clear_recursion() will enable the preemption if previously
enabled.

Currently, the riscv's kprobes(powerred by ftrace) handler is
preemptible. Futher check indicates we miss something similar as the
commit c536aa1c5b ("kprobes/ftrace: Add recursion protection to the
ftrace callback"), so do similar modifications as the commit does.
Fixes: 829adda597 ("riscv: Add KPROBES_ON_FTRACE supported")

Use ftrace_get_regs() helper call to get pt_regs from ftrace_regs struct,
this makes the code simpler.
