Subject: [PATCH] ftrace: Setup correct FTRACE_FL_REGS flags for module

When module loaded and enabled, we will use __ftrace_replace_code for module if any ftrace_ops referenced it found. But we will get wrong ftrace_addr for module rec in ftrace_get_addr_new, because rec->flags has not been setup correctly. It can cause the callback function of a ftrace_ops has FTRACE_OPS_FL_SAVE_REGS to be called with pt_regs set to NULL.
So setup correct FTRACE_FL_REGS flags for rec when we call referenced_filters to find ftrace_ops references it.

This should be the fix for 4.4.
