ftrace_direct_init() assigns kthread_run()'s return value to simple_tsk
without an IS_ERR() check. When kthread_run() fails it returns
ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM), but init still returns 0, so the module loads with
simple_tsk holding an error pointer. On unload, ftrace_direct_exit()
then passes that ERR_PTR to kthread_stop(), leading to a
null-pointer-dereference.
Check the return value of kthread_run() with IS_ERR(); on failure,
unregister the ftrace direct call and propagate the error code.
