[PATCH 1/2] arm64: ftrace: prepare ftrace_modify_call() for use without CALL_OPS

ftrace_modify_call() is guarded by CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_CALL_OPS
and calls ftrace_rec_set_ops(rec, arm64_rec_get_ops(rec)) directly,
which only exists when CALL_OPS is enabled.

Generic ftrace also needs ftrace_modify_call() when
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_DIRECT_CALLS is enabled, to retarget a
callsite between two non-FTRACE_ADDR destinations, as happens when a
direct trampoline is modified. The next patch allows DIRECT_CALLS without
CALL_OPS, so widen the guard to cover both configurations and switch
the body to the ftrace_rec_update_ops() wrapper, which already has a
stub for the !CALL_OPS case. ftrace_make_call() already uses the same
wrapper today.

No functional change: with CALL_OPS enabled, ftrace_rec_update_ops()
expands to the exact call this replaces.
