When livepatch is attached to the same function as bpf trampoline with a fexit program, bpf trampoline code calls register_ftrace_direct() twice. The first time will fail with -EAGAIN, and the second time it will succeed. This requires register_ftrace_direct() to unregister the address on the first attempt. Otherwise, the bpf trampoline cannot attach. Here is an easy way to reproduce this issue:
insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-sample.ko bpftrace -e 'fexit:cmdline_proc_show {}' ERROR: Unable to attach probe: fexit:vmlinux:cmdline_proc_show...
Fix this by cleaning up the hash when register_ftrace_function_nolock hits errors.
