In commit a0572f687fb3c ("ftrace: Allow ftrace_replace_code() to be
schedulable), the generic ftrace_replace_code() function was modified to
accept a flags argument in place of a single 'enable' flag. However, the
x86 version of this function was not updated. Fix the same.

Fixes: a0572f687fb3c ("ftrace: Allow ftrace_replace_code() to be schedulable")
I don't mind this change, but it's not a bug, and I'm not sure it
should have the fixes tag. The reason being, the
FTRACE_MODIFY_ENABLE_FL is only set when ftrace is called by with the
command flag FTRACE_MAY_SLEEP, which is never done on x86.

That said, I'm fine with the change as it makes it more robust, but by
adding the fixes tag, you're going to get this into all the stable
code, and I'm not sure that's really necessary.
