[RFC PATCH 04/14] ftrace: Remove ftrace_find_direct_func()

This is a revert of commit 013bf0da047481 ("ftrace: Add
ftrace_find_direct_func()")

ftrace_find_direct_func() was meant for use in the function graph tracer
by architecture specific code. However, commit ff205766dbbee0 ("ftrace:
Fix function_graph tracer interaction with BPF trampoline") disabled
function graph tracer for direct calls leaving this without any users.

In addition, modify_ftrace_direct() allowed redirecting the direct call
to a different trampoline that was never registered through
register_ftrace_direct(). This meant that ftrace_direct_funcs didn't
capture all trampolines.
