[PATCH 5.10 15/37] ftrace: Fix NULL pointer dereference in is_ftrace_trampoline when ftrace is dead

commit c3b0f72e805f0801f05fa2aa52011c4bfc694c44 upstream.

ftrace_startup does not remove ops from ftrace_ops_list when
ftrace_startup_enable fails:

register_ftrace_function
ftrace_startup
__register_ftrace_function
...
add_ftrace_ops(&ftrace_ops_list, ops)
...
...
ftrace_startup_enable // if ftrace failed to modify, ftrace_disabled is set to 1
...
return 0 // ops is in the ftrace_ops_list.

When ftrace_disabled = 1, unregister_ftrace_function simply returns without doing anything:
unregister_ftrace_function
ftrace_shutdown
if (unlikely(ftrace_disabled))
return -ENODEV; // return here, __unregister_ftrace_function is not executed,
// as a result, ops is still in the ftrace_ops_list
__unregister_ftrace_function
...

If ops is dynamically allocated, it will be free later, in this case,
is_ftrace_trampoline accesses NULL pointer:

is_ftrace_trampoline
ftrace_ops_trampoline
do_for_each_ftrace_op(op, ftrace_ops_list) // OOPS! op may be NULL!

Therefore, when ftrace_startup_enable fails, we need to rollback registration
process and remove ops from ftrace_ops_list.
