ftrace: Simplify ftrace_match_record() even more
Dan Carpenter sent a patch to remove a check in ftrace_match_record()
because the logic of the code made the check redundant. I looked deeper into
the code, and made the following logic table, with the three variables and
the result of the original code.
modname mod_matches exclude_mod result
------- ----------- ----------- ------
0 0 0 return 0
0 0 1 func_match
0 1 * < cannot exist >
1 0 0 return 0
1 0 1 func_match
1 1 0 func_match
1 1 1 return 0
Notice that when mod_matches == exclude mod, the result is always to
return 0, and when mod_matches != exclude_mod, then the result is to test
the function. This means we only need test if mod_matches is equal to
exclude_mod.
