riscv: ftrace: Fixup panic by disabling preemption

In RISCV, we must use an AUIPC + JALR pair to encode an immediate,
forming a jump that jumps to an address over 4K. This may cause errors
if we want to enable kernel preemption and remove dependency from
patching code with stop_machine(). For example, if a task was switched
out on auipc. And, if we changed the ftrace function before it was
switched back, then it would jump to an address that has updated 11:0
bits mixing with previous XLEN:12 part.
