The ftrace-direct-too sample traces the handle_mm_fault function whose
signature changed since the introduction of the sample. Since:
commit bce617edecad ("mm: do page fault accounting in handle_mm_fault")
handle_mm_fault now has 4 arguments. Therefore, the sample trampoline
should save 4 argument registers.
s390 saves all argument registers already so it does not need a change
but x86_64 needs an extra push and pop.
This also evolves the signature of the tracing function to make it
mirror the signature of the traced function.
