[PATCH] kernel: Fix ftrace.c compiler warning when callingftrace_nop_replace()

[Eduardo Silva]

the function ftrace_nop_replace() returns a 'static const unsigned char *'
value, so when the caller perform a direct assignment to a
'static unsigned char *', the compiler raise the following warning message:

 ftrace.c:308:6: warning: assignment discards qualifiers from pointer target type
 ftrace.c:318:6: warning: assignment discards qualifiers from pointer target type

Adding the proper casts the message goes away.
