Finally, it looks like this change is done via commit 894979689d3a
("s390/ftrace: provide separate ftrace_caller/ftrace_regs_caller
implementations") four hours the same day after the implementation of
arch_ftrace_get_regs()
They may have forgotten to change arch_ftrace_get_regs() which was added
in commit 5740a7c71ab6 ("s390/ftrace: add HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS
support") with the assumption that ftrace_caller and ftrace_regs_caller
where identical.
