Subject: [PATCH 1/2] ftrace: Change filter/notrace set functions to return exit code

Currently the ftrace_set_filter and ftrace_set_notrace functions
do not return any return code. So there's no way for ftrace_ops
user to tell wether the filter was correctly applied.

The set_ftrace_filter interface returns error in case the filter
did not match:

  # echo krava > set_ftrace_filter
  bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument

Changing both ftrace_set_filter and ftrace_set_notrace functions
to return zero if the filter was applied correctly or -E* values
in case of error.
