Subject: [PATCH 3/3] kprobes: Allow probing on any address belonging to ftrace

On certain architectures, ftrace can reserve multiple instructions at
function entry. Rather than rejecting kprobe on addresses other than the
exact ftrace call instruction, use the address returned by ftrace to
probe at the correct address when CONFIG_KPROBES_ON_FTRACE is enabled.
