Introduce function trace based kprobes optimization. With using ftrace optimization, kprobes on the mcount calling address, use ftrace's mcount call instead of breakpoint. Furthermore, this optimization works with preemptive kernel not like as current jump-based optimization. Of cource, this feature works only if the probe is on mcount call. Only if kprobe.break_handler is set, that probe is not optimized with ftrace (nor put on ftrace). The reason why this limitation comes is that this break_handler may be used only from jprobes which changes ip address (for fetching the function arguments), but function tracer ignores modified ip address. Changes in v2: - Fix ftrace_ops registering right after setting its filter. - Unregister ftrace_ops if there is no kprobe using. - Remove notrace dependency from __kprobes macro.
