Also you must keep the ftrace_bug() functionality. I notice there's no
error check for text_poke_bp(). Not only do we need to check the error
status, but if an error does happen, we must know the following:

 1) What record it failed on
 2) Did in fail on the read, compare, or write?

If it failed on the read:     -EFAULT is returned
If it failed on the compare:  -EINVAL is returned
If it failed on the write:    -EPERM is returned

Look at "ftrace_bug()", and then you can also do a google search on
"ftrace faulted" or "ftrace failed to modify", and see that this is an
extremely useful debugging tool, and not something I will allow to be
removed.
