Alexei reported crash by running test_progs -j on system
with 32 cpus.

It turned out the kprobe_multi bench test that attaches all
ftrace-able functions will race with bpf_dispatcher_update,
that calls bpf_arch_text_poke on bpf_dispatcher_xdp_func,
which is ftrace-able function.

Ftrace is not aware of this update so this will cause
ftrace_bug with:

  WARNING: CPU: 6 PID: 1985 at

  Setting ftrace call site to call ftrace function

It looks like we need some way to hide some functions
from ftrace, but meanwhile we workaround this by skipping
bpf_dispatcher_xdp_func from kprobe_multi bench test.
