One way to trigger this is:
1. load a livepatch that patches kernel function xxx;
2. run bpftrace -e 'kfunc:xxx {}', this will fail (expected for now);
3. repeat #2 => gpf.

This is because the entry is added to direct_functions, but not removed. Fix this by remove the entry from direct_functions when register_ftrace_direct fails.

Also remove the last trailing space from ftrace.c, so we don't have to worry about it anymore.

Fixes 763e34e74bb7 ("ftrace: Add register_ftrace_direct()")

Hi Steven,

Could you please share your thoughts on this fix?

I'll take a look at it tomorrow, when I look at all my past patches.

Sorry for the delay, I've been behind schedule on something that is hopefully ready.

Yes please. And as a new thread (not a reply to this one).
