ftrace: make ftrace_test_p6nop disassembler-friendly

Browse Source 
Commit 4c3dc21b136f8cb4b72afee16c3ba7e961656c0b in tip introduced the
5-byte NOP ftrace_test_p6nop:

   jmp . + 5
   .byte 0x00, 0x00, 0x00

This is not friendly to disassemblers because an odd number of 0x00s
ends in the middle of an instruction boundary.  This changes the 0x00s
to 1-byte NOPs (0x90).
