I think I fixed the problem.
As you can see stack dump traces above, psci_cpu_suspend() and psci_suspend_finisher()
are called in cpu suspend path, but they never return in cpu resume path and
cpu_suspend() will resume directly via cpu_resume(). So those two functions should not be
ftrace'd.

Please try this patch:

There are some other functions which are called by cpu_suspend(), e.g. psci_system_suspend().
Should we apply a similar fix to them?
