Subject: [for-next][PATCH 04/21] ftrace/x86: Add back ftrace_expected assignment

From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@...dmis.org>

When a ftrace_bug happens (where ftrace fails to modify a location) it is
helpful to have what was at that location as well as what was expected to
be there.

But with the conversion to text_poke() the variable that assigns the
expected for debugging was dropped. Unfortunately, I noticed this when I
needed it. Add it back.
