After this change, register_ftrace_direct() receives an address with
the LSB bit already set (via ftrace_jmp_set) and stores it as-is in
entry->direct. This address then flows through to ftrace_find_rec_direct()
which returns entry->direct unchanged.

In available_filter_functions_show():

direct = ftrace_find_rec_direct(rec->ip);
if (direct)
seq_printf(m, "\n\tdirect-->%pS", (void *)direct);

Can the debug output show misleading symbol offsets? When the LSB is
set, %pS will resolve addresses like "function+0x1" instead of just
"function". This makes ftrace debug output harder to read for users
trying to understand direct call attachments.

The fix would be to strip the LSB bit before printing:
seq_printf(m, "\n\tdirect-->%pS", (void *)ftrace_jmp_get(direct));
