ftrace: Enable trampoline when rec count returns back to one



Custom trampolines can only be enabled if there is only a single ops
attached to it. If there's only a single callback registered to a function,
and the ops has a trampoline registered for it, then we can call the
trampoline directly. This is very useful for improving the performance of
ftrace and livepatch.

If more than one callback is registered to a function, the general
trampoline is used, and the custom trampoline is not restored back to the
direct call even if all the other callbacks were unregistered and we are
back to one callback for the function.

To fix this, set FTRACE_FL_TRAMP flag if rec count is decremented
to one, and the ops that left has a trampoline.

Testing After this patch :

insmod livepatch_unshare_files.ko
cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/enabled_functions

	unshare_files (1) R I	tramp: 0xffffffffc0000000(klp_ftrace_handler+0x0/0xa0) ->ftrace_ops_assist_func+0x0/0xf0

echo unshare_files > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
echo function > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/enabled_functions

	unshare_files (2) R I ->ftrace_ops_list_func+0x0/0x150

echo nop > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/enabled_functions

	unshare_files (1) R I	tramp: 0xffffffffc0000000(klp_ftrace_handler+0x0/0xa0) ->ftrace_ops_assist_func+0x0/0xf0
