[for-next][PATCH 2/9] tracing: Avoid BTF lookup in atomic context

[Steven Rostedt]

From: pengdonglin <pengdonglin@xxxxxxxxxx>

The function graph trace formatter can be called from ftrace_dump_one()
with interrupts disabled. When ftrace_dump_on_oops is enabled, the trace
panic notifier can reach ftrace_dump() from the panic path, including the
nmi_panic() path used by the hard lockup detector.

btf_find_func_proto() calls bpf_find_btf_id(), which may initialize vmlinux
BTF under a mutex. Skip the BTF lookup when running in an atomic context
or with interrupts disabled, and fall back to the existing return value
formatting.
