[RFC][PATCH 3/3 v3] livepatching: Use the default ftrace_ops instead of REGS when ARGS is available

From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" When CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS is available, the ftrace call will be able to set the ip of the calling function. This will improve the performance of live kernel patching where it does not need all the regs to be stored just to change the instruction
