[PATCH v2 05/10] ftrace: Make DIRECT_CALLS work WITH_ARGS and !WITH_REGS

Direct called trampolines can be called in two ways:
- either from the ftrace callsite. In this case, they do not access any
  struct ftrace_regs nor pt_regs
- Or, if a ftrace ops is also attached, from the end of a ftrace
  trampoline. In this case, the call_direct_funcs ops is in charge of
  setting the direct call trampoline's address in a struct ftrace_regs

Since:

commit 9705bc709604 ("ftrace: pass fregs to arch_ftrace_set_direct_caller()")

The later case no longer requires a full pt_regs. It only needs a struct
ftrace_regs so DIRECT_CALLS can work with both WITH_ARGS or WITH_REGS.
With architectures like arm64 already abandoning WITH_REGS in favor of
WITH_ARGS, it's important to have DIRECT_CALLS work WITH_ARGS only.
