ftrace: Add MODIFIED flag to show if IPMODIFY or direct was attached
If a function had ever had IPMODIFY or DIRECT attached to it, where this
is how live kernel patching and BPF overrides work, mark them and display
an "M" in the enabled_functions and touched_functions files. This can be
used for debugging. If a function had been modified and later there's a bug
in the code related to that function, this can be used to know if the cause
is possibly from a live kernel patch or a BPF program that changed the
behavior of the code.
Also update the documentation on the enabled_functions and
touched_functions output, as it was missing direct callers and CALL_OPS.
And include this new modify attribute.
