Subject: ftrace: Consistently restore trace function on sysctl enabling
From: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@xxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 5000c418840b309251c5887f0b56503aae30f84c upstream.
If we reenable ftrace via syctl, we currently set ftrace_trace_function
based on the previous simplistic algorithm. This is inconsistent with
what update_ftrace_function does. So better call that helper instead.
