ARM: ftrace: avoid redundant loads or clobbering IP

[ Upstream commit d1196787

 ]

Tweak the ftrace return paths to avoid redundant loads of SP, as well as
unnecessary clobbering of IP.

This also fixes the inconsistency of using MOV to perform a function
return, which is sub-optimal on recent micro-architectures but more
importantly, does not perform an interworking return, unlike compiler
generated function returns in Thumb2 builds.

Let's fix this by popping PC from the stack like most ordinary code
does.
