In commit 24a1bdc35, "Fix ABIv2 issues with __ftrace_make_call", Anton
changed the logic that creates and patches the branch, and added a
thinko in the check of create_branch(). create_branch() returns the
instruction that was generated, so if we get zero then it succeeded.
The result is we can't ftrace modules:
Branch out of range
WARNING: at ../kernel/trace/ftrace.c:1638
ftrace failed to modify [<d000000004ba001c>] fuse_req_init_context+0x1c/0x90 [fuse]
We should probably fix patch_instruction() to do that check and make the
API saner, but that's a separate patch. For now just invert the test.
