Should the fregs parameter be non-const here? On architectures with
HAVE_ARCH_FTRACE_REGS (arm64, riscv), the setter functions expect a
non-const pointer:

  ftrace_regs_set_instruction_pointer(struct ftrace_regs *fregs, ...)
  ftrace_regs_set_return_value(struct ftrace_regs *fregs, ...)

Passing the const-qualified fregs to these functions discards the const
qualifier, which may cause compiler warnings with -Werror or undefined
behavior since the setters do modify the ftrace_regs structure.
