[PATCHv3 bpf-next 3/8] ftrace: Add update_ftrace_direct_add function

Adding update_ftrace_direct_add function that adds all entries
(ip -> addr) provided in hash argument to direct ftrace ops
and updates its attachments.

The difference to current register_ftrace_direct is
- hash argument that allows to register multiple ip -> direct
entries at once
- we can call update_ftrace_direct_add multiple times on the
same ftrace_ops object, becase after first registration with
register_ftrace_function_nolock, it uses ftrace_update_ops to
update the ftrace_ops object

This change will allow us to have simple ftrace_ops for all bpf
direct interface users in following changes.
