ftrace: Enable trampoline when rec count returns back to one
Custom trampolines can only be enabled if there is only a single ops attached to it. If there's only a single callback registered to a function, and the ops has a trampoline registered for it, then we can call the trampoline directly. This is very useful for improving the performance of ftrace and livepatch. If more than one callback is registered to a function, the general trampoline is used, and the custom trampoline is not restored back to the direct call even if all the other callbacks were unregistered and we are back to one callback for the function. To fix this, set FTRACE_FL_TRAMP flag if rec count is decremented to one, and the ops that left has a trampoline.
