ftrace: Fix use-after-free for dynamic ftrace_ops
"
After reverted the above commit on top of v6.3-rc2 kernel, this issue was gone.

And this issue could be reproduced in 2100s.

There was no this issue report in syzbot link:
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/upstream

I hope it's helpful.

Thanks!

If you don't need the following environment to reproduce the problem or if you
already have one, please ignore the following information.

How to reproduce:
git clone https://gitlab.com/xupengfe/repro_vm_env.git
cd repro_vm_env
tar -xvf repro_vm_env.tar.gz
cd repro_vm_env; ./start3.sh  // it needs qemu-system-x86_64 and I used v7.1.0
   // start3.sh will load bzImage_2241ab53cbb5cdb08a6b2d4688feb13971058f65 v6.2-rc5 kernel
   // You could change the bzImage_xxx as you want
You could use below command to log in, there is no password for root.
ssh -p 10023 root@localhost

After login vm(virtual machine) successfully, you could transfer reproduced
binary to the vm by below way, and reproduce the problem in vm:
gcc -pthread -o repro repro.c
scp -P 10023 repro root@localhost:/root/

Get the bzImage for target kernel:
Please use target kconfig and copy it to kernel_src/.config
make olddefconfig
make -jx bzImage           //x should equal or less than cpu num your pc has

Fill the bzImage file into above start3.sh to load the target kernel in vm.


Tips:
If you already have qemu-system-x86_64, please ignore below info.
If you want to install qemu v7.1.0 version:
git clone https://github.com/qemu/qemu.git
cd qemu
git checkout -f v7.1.0
mkdir build
cd build
yum install -y ninja-build.x86_64
../configure --target-list=x86_64-softmmu --enable-kvm --enable-vnc --enable-gtk --enable-sdl
make
make install

Thanks!
BR.
