I sent this patch to see the what the community thinks about this attribute (although it think it is necessary and this will be more convenient for users).

If this patch is seems to be good, I will add a kselftest to this attribute.

As Miroslav and Petr said, keeping klp_ftrace_handler() as fast as possible is also important, which I need to find a way to keep it fast (or just setting the state to be true instead of a judgement?).
