there's bpf dispatcher code that updates bpf_dispatcher_xdp_func
function with bpf_arch_text_poke and that can race with ftrace update
if the function is traced

the idea to solve it is to 'mark' the function independent of ftrace,
and add a way to make the function invissible to ftrace but with the
profile code fentry call generated
