I believe I said before that we can do this by adding a stub ops that match
all the functions with the direct ops being modified. This will cause the
loop function to be called, which will call the direct function helper,
which will then call the direct function that is found. That is, there is
no "pause" in calling the direct callers. Either the old direct is called,
or the new one. When the function returns, all are calling the new one.

That is, instead of:

[ Changing direct call from my_direct_1 to my_direct_2 ]

<traced_func>:
call my_direct_1

||||||||||||||||||||
vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv

<traced_func>:
nop

||||||||||||||||||||
vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv

<traced_func>:
call my_direct_2


We have it do:

<traced_func>:
call my_direct_1

||||||||||||||||||||
vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv

<traced_func>:
call ftrace_caller


<ftrace_caller>:
[..]
call ftrace_ops_list_func


ftrace_ops_list_func()
{
ops->func() -> direct_helper -> set rax to my_direct_1 or my_direct_2
}

call rax (to either my_direct_1 or my_direct_2

||||||||||||||||||||
vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv

<traced_func>:
call my_direct_2


I did this on top of this patch:
