There is a possible configuration dependency:
KPROBES_ON_FTRACE [=n]
^----- KPROBES [=y]
|--- HAVE_KPROBES_ON_FTRACE [=n]
|--- DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS [=n]
^----- FTRACE [=y]
|--- DYNAMIC_FTRACE [=y]
|--- HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS [=n]
With DYNAMIC_FTRACE=y, ftrace_location() is meaningful and may
return the same address as the probe target.
However, when KPROBES_ON_FTRACE=n, the current implementation
returns -EINVAL after calling check_ftrace_location(), causing
the validation to fail.
Adjust the logic so that ftrace-based checks are performed only
when CONFIG_KPROBES_ON_FTRACE is enabled, ensuring correct
kprobe behavior even when KPROBES_ON_FTRACE=n.
