arm64: module/ftrace: intialize PLT at load time

Currently we lazily-initialize a module's ftrace PLT at runtime when we
install the first ftrace call. To do so we have to apply a number of
sanity checks, transiently mark the module text as RW, and perform an
IPI as part of handling Neoverse-N1 erratum #1542419.

We only expect the ftrace trampoline to point at ftrace_caller() (AKA
FTRACE_ADDR), so let's simplify all of this by intializing the PLT at
module load time, before the module loader marks the module RO and
performs the intial I-cache maintenance for the module.

Thus we can rely on the module having been correctly intialized, and can
simplify the runtime work necessary to install an ftrace call in a
module. This will also allow for the removal of module_disable_ro().

Tested by forcing ftrace_make_call() to use the module PLT, and then
loading up a module after setting up ftrace with:

| echo ":mod:<module-name>" > set_ftrace_filter;
| echo function > current_tracer;
| modprobe <module-name>

Since FTRACE_ADDR is only defined when CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE is
selected, we wrap its use along with most of module_init_ftrace_plt()
with ifdeffery rather than using IS_ENABLED().
