arm_kprobe_ftrace() could fail, especially after introducing ftrace IPMODIFY flag and LifePatching. But this situation is not properly handled. This patch adds the most important changes.
First, it does not make sense to register "kprobe_ftrace_ops" if the filter was not set. Second, we should remove the filter if the registration of "kprobe_ftrace_ops" fails. The failure might be caused by conflict between the Kprobe and a life patch via the IPMODIFY flag. If we remove the filter, we will allow to register "kprobe_ftrace_ops" for another non-conflicting Kprobe later. Third, we need to make sure that "kprobe_ftrace_enabled" is incremented only when "kprobe_ftrace_ops" is successfully registered. Otherwise, another Kprobe will not try to register it again. Note that we could move the manipulation with this counter because it is accessed only under "kprobe_mutex". Four, we should mark the probe as disabled if the ftrace stuff is not usable. It will be the correct status. Also it will prevent the unregistration code from producing another failure. It looks more safe to disable the Kprobe directly in "kprobe_ftrace_ops". Note that we need to disable also all listed Kprobes in case of an aggregated probe. It would be enough to disable only the new one but we do not know which one it was. They should be in sync anyway.
