The above function is incorrect. I know I just added the comment about how
it is to work below, but if pt_regs is not fully filled, then
arch_ftrace_get_regs() must return NULL.

This is because if a callback is registered with ftrace, and forgets to add
the FTRACE_OPS_FL_SAVE_REGS flag, then when it does:

	regs = ftrace_get_regs(fregs);

it should get NULL and not a partially filled pt_regs set. Because the API
is that ftrace_get_regs() will return either a full pt_regs (where the
caller can know that it has all the correct registers) or NULL where it
does not have any registers.

It's an all or nothing approach.

You can see x86 has:

static __always_inline struct pt_regs *
arch_ftrace_get_regs(struct ftrace_regs *fregs)
{
	/* Only when FL_SAVE_REGS is set, cs will be non zero */
	if (!arch_ftrace_regs(fregs)->regs.cs)
		return NULL;
	return &arch_ftrace_regs(fregs)->regs;
}

Where it checks if regs.cs is set to determine if it has all the regs or
not.

Please do something similar for your architecture.

I'm adding the above comment to help other architectures know of this requirement.
