x86/ftrace: use uaccess in atomic context
With latest -tip I get this bug:

[ 49.440118] =======================
It is because ftrace_modify_code() calls copy_to_user and
copy_from_user.
These functions have been inserted after guessing that there
couldn't be any race condition but copy_[to/from]_user might
sleep and __ftrace_update_code is called with local_irq_saved.
These function have been inserted since this commit:
