[PATCH 6/7] kprobes/ftrace: Use ftrace_location() when [dis]arming probes

Ftrace location could include more than a single instruction in case of
some architectures (powerpc64, for now). In this case, kprobe is
permitted on any of those instructions, and uses ftrace infrastructure
for functioning.

However, [dis]arm_kprobe_ftrace() uses the kprobe address when setting
up ftrace filter IP. This won't work if the address points to any
instruction apart from the one that has a branch to _mcount(). To
resolve this, have [dis]arm_kprobe_ftrace() use ftrace_function() to
identify the filter IP.
