If an error happens in ftrace, ftrace_kill() will prevent disarming
kprobes. Eventually, the ftrace_ops associated with the kprobes will be
freed, yet the kprobes will still be active, and when triggered, they
will use the freed memory, likely resulting in a page fault and panic.

A few if conditions align misleadingly with the following code block.
The checks are really cascading NULL checks that fit into 80 chars so
remove newlines in between and realign to the if condition indent.
