Hmm, this should not be checked in arch-depend code, since it may duplicate
code in each arch. Please try below.

    kprobes: Skip preparing optprobe if the probe is ftrace-based
    
    Skip preparing optprobe if the probe is ftrace-based, since
    anyway, it must not be optimized (or already optimized by
    ftrace).
