MIPS: Tracing: Reduce the overhead of dynamic Function Tracer

With the help of uasm this patch encodes the instructions of the dynamic
function tracer in ftrace_dyn_arch_init() when initializing it.

As a result we can remove the dynamic encoding of instructions in
ftrace_make_nop()/call(), ftrace_enable_ftrace_graph_caller() and remove
the macro jump_insn_encode() and at last this reduce the overhead of
dynamic Function Tracer.  This also is cleaner.
