The dispatcher function is currently abusing the ftrace __fentry__
call location for its own purposes -- this obviously gives trouble
when the dispatcher and ftrace are both in use.
A previous solution tried using __attribute__((patchable_function_entry()))
which works, except it is GCC-8+ only, breaking the build on the
earlier still supported compilers. Instead use static_call() -- which
has its own annotations and does not conflict with ftrace -- to
rewrite the dispatch function.
By using: return static_call()(ctx, insni, bpf_func) you get a perfect
forwarding tail call as function body (iow a single jmp instruction).
By having the default static_call() target be bpf_dispatcher_nop_func()
it retains the default behaviour (an indirect call to the argument
function). Only once a dispatcher program is attached is the target
rewritten to directly call the JIT'ed image.
