Subject: [PATCH v2 3/6] ftrace: Pass retval through return in ftrace_dyn_arch_init

No ftrace_dyn_arch_init uses the value in the "data" parameter in any
way, it just sets the value to 0. And this is used as a return value
in the caller -- ftrace_init, which just checks the retval against
zero.

Note there is also "return 0" in every ftrace_dyn_arch_init.  So it is
enough to check the retval and remove all the indirect sets of data on
all archs.
