[PATCH] kprobes: Call check_ftrace_location() on CONFIG_KPROBES_ON_FTRACE

[qingwei.hu]

From: Qingwei Hu <qingwei...@bytedance.com>

There is a possible configuration dependency:

  KPROBES_ON_FTRACE [=n]
       ^----- KPROBES [=y]
         |--- HAVE_KPROBES_ON_FTRACE [=n]
         |--- DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS [=n]
                ^----- FTRACE [=y]
                  |--- DYNAMIC_FTRACE [=y]
                  |--- HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS [=n]

With DYNAMIC_FTRACE=y, ftrace_location() is meaningful and may
return the same address as the probe target.

However, when KPROBES_ON_FTRACE=n, the current implementation
returns -EINVAL after calling check_ftrace_location(), causing
the validation to fail.

Adjust the logic so that ftrace-based checks are performed only
when CONFIG_KPROBES_ON_FTRACE is enabled, ensuring correct
kprobe behavior even when KPROBES_ON_FTRACE=n.
