ftrace: Avoid needless updates of the ftrace function call

Song Shuai reported:

    The list func (ftrace_ops_list_func) will be patched first
    before the transition between old and new calls are set,
    which fixed the race described in this commit `59338f75`.

    While ftrace_trace_function changes from the list func to a
    ftrace_ops func, like unregistering the klp_ops to leave the only
    global_ops in ftrace_ops_list, the ftrace_[regs]_call will be
    replaced with the list func although it already exists. So there
    should be a condition to avoid this.

And suggested using another variable to keep track of what the ftrace
function is set to. But this could be simplified by using a helper
function that does the same with a static variable.
