Subject: [PATCH 1/1] stackleak: Disable function tracing and kprobes for stackleak_erase()

The stackleak_erase() function is called on the trampoline stack at the end
of syscall. This stack is not big enough for ftrace and kprobes operations,
e.g. it can be exhausted if we use kprobe_events for stackleak_erase().

So let's disable function tracing and kprobes for stackleak_erase().
