ftrace: return error on failed modified text.
Have the ftrace_modify_code return error values: -EFAULT on error of reading the address -EINVAL if what is read does not match what it expected -EPERM if the write fails to update after a successful match.

81 * ftrace_modify_code - modify code segment
82 * @ip: the address of the code segment
83 * @old_code: the contents of what is expected to be there
84 * @new_code: the code to patch in
85 *
86 * This is a very sensitive operation and great care needs
87 * to be taken by the arch. The operation should carefully
88 * read the location, check to see if what is read is indeed
89 * what we expect it to be, and then on success of the compare,
90 * it should write to the location.
91 *
92 * Return must be:
93 * 0 on success
94 * -EFAULT on error reading the location
95 * -EINVAL on a failed compare of the contents
96 * -EPERM on error writing to the location
97 * Any other value will be considered a failure.
