selftests: livepatch: test livepatching a kprobed function

JIRA: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-80216



The test proves that a function that is being kprobed and uses a
post_handler cannot be livepatched.

Only one ftrace_ops with FTRACE_OPS_FL_IPMODIFY set may be registered
to any given function at a time.

Note that the conflicting kprobe could not be created using the
tracefs interface, see Documentation/trace/kprobetrace.rst.
This interface uses only the pre_handler(), see alloc_trace_kprobe().
But FTRACE_OPS_FL_IPMODIFY is used only when the kprobe is using a
post_handler, see arm_kprobe_ftrace().
