Subject: ftrace/x86: Load ftrace_ops in parameter not the variable holding it

From: Steven Rostedt <[email protected]>

commit 1739f09e33d8f66bf48ddbc3eca615574da6c4f6 upstream.

Function tracing callbacks expect to have the ftrace_ops that registered it
passed to them, not the address of the variable that holds the ftrace_ops
that registered it.

Use a mov instead of a lea to store the ftrace_ops into the parameter
of the function tracing callback.
