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.
