If a module is cached in the set_ftrace_filter, and that module is loaded,
then enable tracing on that module as if the cached module text was written
into set_ftrace_filter just as the module is loaded.

  # echo ":mod:kvm_intel" >
  # cat /sys/kernel/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
 #### all functions enabled ####
 :mod:kvm_intel
  # modprobe kvm_intel
  # cat /sys/kernel/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
 vmx_get_rflags [kvm_intel]
 vmx_get_pkru [kvm_intel]
 vmx_get_interrupt_shadow [kvm_intel]
 vmx_rdtscp_supported [kvm_intel]
 vmx_invpcid_supported [kvm_intel]
