While fixing patch_instruction() should address the crash, we should
still change the default stub we setup for _mcount() for cases where a
kernel is built without ftrace.
I notice that I didn't write that properly yesterday. I meant that this
is required for cases where ftrace gets disabled for any reason,
resulting in the default calls to _mcount() remaining in the kernel
modules.
