Subject: [PATCH v2] tracing: fprobe: use ftrace if CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS

For now, we will use ftrace for the fprobe if fp->exit_handler not exists
and CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS is enabled.

However, CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS is not supported by some arch,
such as arm. What we need in the fprobe is the function arguments, so we
can use ftrace for fprobe if CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS is enabled.

Therefore, use ftrace if CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS or
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS enabled.
