====================
Fix ftrace for livepatch + BPF fexit programs

livepatch and BPF trampoline are two special users of ftrace. livepatch
uses ftrace with IPMODIFY flag and BPF trampoline uses ftrace direct
functions. When livepatch and BPF trampoline with fexit programs attach to
the same kernel function, BPF trampoline needs to call into the patched
version of the kernel function.

1/3 and 2/3 of this patchset fix two issues with livepatch + fexit cases,
one in the register_ftrace_direct path, the other in the
modify_ftrace_direct path.

3/3 adds selftests for both cases.
