You could just as easily implement this as a dummy macro, but I guess it
doesn't matter either way.

Judging by your comment then, this should never be called. Is that right? If
so, we could add a BUG-equivalent so we know if we missed an mcount during
patching.

I think you're better off propagating the errors here, rather than
overriding them with EFAULT/EINVAL/EPERM.

You could rewrite this as:
if (enable)
return ftrace_modify_code(pc, nop, branch, true);
else
return ftrace_modify_code(pc, branch, nop, true);
which I find easier to read.
