[PATCH] perf: fix panic by disable ftrace on fault.c

[王贇]

When running with ftrace function enabled, we observed panic
as below:

  traps: PANIC: double fault, error_code: 0x0
  [snip]
  RIP: 0010:perf_swevent_get_recursion_context+0x0/0x70

According to the trace we know the story is like this, the NMI
triggered perf IRQ throttling and call perf_log_throttle(),
which triggered the swevent overflow, and the overflow process
do perf_callchain_user() which triggered a user PF, and the PF
process triggered perf ftrace which finally lead into a suspected
stack overflow.

This patch disable ftrace on fault.c, which help to avoid the panic.
