Because of the change of stop machine implementation, there are functions
being called while waiting currently:

----------------------------------------------------------------
Former stop machine wait loop:
do {
    cpu_relax(); => macro
    ...
} while (curstate != STOPMACHINE_EXIT);
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Current stop machine wait loop:
do {
    stop_machine_yield(cpumask); => function (notraced)
    ...
    touch_nmi_watchdog(); => function (notraced, inside calls also notraced)
    ...
    rcu_momentary_dyntick_idle(); => function (notraced, inside calls traced)
} while (curstate != MULTI_STOP_EXIT);
------------------------------------------------------------------

These functions (including the calls inside) should be marked notrace to avoid
their codes being updated when they are being called. The calls inside
rcu_momentary_dyntick_idle() still remain traced, and will cause crash:

  rcu: INFO: rcu_preempt detected stalls on CPUs/tasks:

  Call Trace:

Mark the calls inside rcu_momentary_dyntick_idle():
 rcu_preempt_deferred_qs()
 rcu_preempt_need_deferred_qs()
 rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_irqrestore()
as notrace to prevent this.
