Adding update_ftrace_direct_del function that removes all entries
(ip -> addr) provided in hash argument to direct ftrace ops and
updates its attachments.

The difference to current unregister_ftrace_direct is
 - hash argument that allows to unregister multiple ip -> direct
   entries at once
 - we can call update_ftrace_direct_del multiple times on the
   same ftrace_ops object, becase we do not need to unregister
   all entries at once, we can do it gradualy with the help of
   ftrace_update_ops function

This change will allow us to have simple ftrace_ops for all bpf
direct interface users in following changes.

Again, this can be just return NULL;

You can make this for (int i = 0; ...) too.

And you can remove the error label here too:

			if (WARN_ON_ONCE(!del)) {
				free_ftrace_hash(sub);
				return NULL;
			}
