perf/ftrace: Check for rcu_is_watching() in callback function



If a ftrace callback requires "rcu_is_watching", then it adds the
FTRACE_OPS_FL_RCU flag and it will not be called if RCU is not "watching".
But this means that it will use a trampoline when called, and this slows
down the function tracing a tad. By checking rcu_is_watching() from within
the callback, it no longer needs the RCU flag set in the ftrace_ops and it
can be safely called directly.
