It fails for notrace functions, e.g. considering fentry prog, when
bpf_trampoline_link_prog -> bpf_trampoline_update eventually calls
register_fentry -> bpf_arch_text_poke, old_addr is NULL, so nop_insn is copied
to old_insn, and then that memcmp(ip, old_insn, X86_PATCH_SIZE) should fail, so
it would return -EBUSY. If you consider modify_fentry case, then register_fentry
for earlier prog must have succeeded, so it must not be notrace function.

The orig_call adjustment is only done for fexit and fmod_ret (they set CALL_ORIG
and SKIP_FRAME flags), because in case of just fentry we just continue after
ret, instead of emitting call to original function in trampoline, for those too
the bpf_arch_text_poke should fail, for the same reason as above.

Based on my inspection it looks fine, others can correct me if I'm wrong.
