Before ftrace convertin instruction to nop, if an early kprobe is registered then unregistered, without this patch its first bytes will be replaced by head of NOP, which may confuse ftrace.
Actually, since we have a patch which convert ftrace entry to nop when probing, this problem should never be triggered. Provide it for safety.
