Subject: [PATCH 1/1] stackleak: Disable ftrace for stackleak.c

The stackleak_erase() function is called on the trampoline stack at the
end of syscall. This stack is not big enough for ftrace operations,
e.g. it can be overflowed if we enable kprobe_events for stackleak_erase().

Let's disable ftrace for stackleak.c to avoid such situations.
