Subject: [RFC PATCH v3 04/26] ftrace: don't update record flags if code modification fail.

X86 and common ftrace_replace_code() behave differently.

In x86, rec->flags get updated only when (almost) all works are done. In
common code, rec->flags is updated before code modification, and never
get restored when code modification fails.

This patch ensures rec->flags kept its original value if
ftrace_replace_code() fail. A later patch will correct that function
for x86.
