I beleive s/to/in/ here, to make this one of:

	set the flags in the associated dyn_ftrace records.

... rather than:

	set the flags to the associated dyn_ftrace records.

Typo: s/udpated/updated/

... though I couldn't parse this regardless; maybe:

	@filter_hash: true to update the filter hash, false to update
