This reverts commit 00b136bb6254e0abf6aaafe62c4da5f6c4fea4cb.

This temporarily reverts the backport of upstream commit
1f001e9da6bbf482311e45e48f53c2bd2179e59c. It was not correct to copy the
ftrace stub as it would contain a relative jump to the return thunk which
would not apply to the context where it was being copied to, leading to
ftrace support to be broken.
