Allow kprobes which do not modify regs->ip, coexist with livepatch
by dropping FTRACE_OPS_FL_IPMODIFY from ftrace_ops.

User who wants to modify regs->ip (e.g. function fault injection)
must set a dummy post_handler to its kprobes when registering.
However, if such regs->ip modifying kprobes is set on a function,
that function can not be livepatched.

Looks good! I applied it.

Thanks Masami!
