ftrace: avoid modifying kprobe'd records
Avoid modifying the mcount call-site if there is a kprobe installed on it. These records are not marked as failed however. This allowed the filter rules on them to remain up-to-date. Whenever the kprobe on the corresponding record is removed, the record gets updated as normal.
