This reverts commit e54fcb0812faebd147de72bd37ad87cc4951c68c.
This temporarily reverts the backport of upstream commit 1f001e9da6bbf482311e45e48f53c2bd2179e59c. It was not correct to copy the ftrace stub as it would contain a relative jump to the return thunk which would not apply to the context where it was being copied to, leading to ftrace support to be broken.
