ftrace: Make ftrace_location_range() global
In order to support live patching on powerpc we would like to call ftrace_location_range(), so make it global. Signed-off-by: Torsten Duwe <duwe@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Balbir Singh <bsingharora@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
