ftrace, x86: do not depend on system state for kernel text info

Andrew Morton pointed out that using SYSTEM_STATE is a bad idea
since there is no guarantee to what its state will actually be.

Instead, I moved the check into the set_kernel_text_* functions
themselves, and use a local variable to determine when it is
OK to change the kernel text RW permissions.
