Vulnerability from github
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ftrace: Clean up hash direct_functions on register failures
We see the following GPF when register_ftrace_direct fails:

One way to trigger this is: 1. load a livepatch that patches kernel function xxx; 2. run bpftrace -e 'kfunc:xxx {}', this will fail (expected for now); 3. repeat #2 => gpf.
This is because the entry is added to direct_functions, but not removed. Fix this by remove the entry from direct_functions when register_ftrace_direct fails.
Also remove the last trailing space from ftrace.c, so we don't have to worry about it anymore.
