Subject: [PATCH 3/4] ftrace: avoid modifying kprobe'd records

Avoid modifying the mcount call-site if there is a kprobe installed on it.
These records are not marked as failed however. This allowed the filter
rules on them to remain up-to-date. Whenever the kprobe on the corresponding
record is removed, the record gets updated as normal.
