x86/paravirt: Do not trace _paravirt_ident_*() functions

Łukasz Daniluk reported that on a RHEL kernel that his machine would lock up
after enabling function tracer. I asked him to bisect the functions within
available_filter_functions, which he did and it came down to three:

  _paravirt_nop(), _paravirt_ident_32() and _paravirt_ident_64()

It was found that this is only an issue when noreplace-paravirt is added
to the kernel command line.

This means that those functions are most likely called within critical
sections of the funtion tracer, and must not be traced.

In newer kenels _paravirt_nop() is defined within gcc asm(), and is no
longer an issue.  But both _paravirt_ident_{32,64}() causes the
following splat when they are traced:
