With this change it might be possible to remove also the last few
lines that explicitly added $(CC_FLAGS_FTRACE) for two test modules.

The two modules really needed these flags. But they are fine also
for the other modules.

We could do this later as a followup patch but it would be nice
to do so here.

PS: BTW: The livepatch selftests fail in Linus's master now. But it
seems to be for another reason. I am going to dig into it.
