For the same reason as commit a85c728cb5e1 ("powerpc/32: Don't use
lmw/stmw for saving/restoring non volatile regs"), don't use
lmw/stmw in ftrace_regs_caller().
Use the same macros for PPC32 and PPC64.

ftrace_caller() and frace_regs_caller() have now a lot in common.
Refactor them using GAS macros.

Instead of open coding offset value 24, use STK_GOT when
accessing got register in stack.

The ability to disable ftrace in certain code paths through
paca_struct->ftrace_enabled will also be relevant on ppc32 - it will be
nice if it can be introduced there.

Ah ? I understood from commit ea678ac627e0 ("powerpc64/ftrace: Add a
field in paca to disable ftrace in unsafe code paths") that it was for
when it runs in real mode. PPC32 doesn't run any C code in real mode.
Are there any other situations that real_mode where we'd like to disable
it ? If so we could use the thread_struct as we don't have paca on PPC32.

It likely isn't necessary in that case.

For ppc64, we use this flag to disable certain paths in kvm, kexec,
mce/hmi and idle/hotplug. If none of those are problematic on ppc32,
then this isn't necessary.
