Ah, a trick is here. Since an empty filter_hash must hit all, we can not
enable/disable filter_hash if we use ftrace_hash_empty() here.

To enabling the new_hash, old_hash must be EMPTY_HASH which means in_old
always be false. To disabling, new_hash is EMPTY_HASH too.
Please see ftrace_hash_ipmodify_enable/disable/update().

Yeah, I see. And there is '||' (logical OR) which evaluates the result
as boolean. :)

As I said above, that is by design :). EMPTY_HASH means it hits nothing,
NULL means it hits all.
