[RFC PATCH v4 34/34] early kprobes: enable optimization of kprobes on ftrace before ftrace is ready.

[Wang Nan]

Uses ftrace_process_loc_early() introduced by previous patch to
convert ftrace entries to nops before ftrace_init(). For x86, original
kprobe entries are 'call' and are optimizable only after this conversion.
