ftrace: Synchronize the initialization of ftrace_opsgrafted
There's some internal state that ftrace_ops needs to have set, but since it can be declared outside of the ftrace.c code, it calls ftrace_ops_init() on the ops in every global function. The issue is that if two tasks call it on the same ops at the same time it is possible to have the initialization of one corrupt the initialization of the other call. Create a ops_mutex to use to synchronize every initialization of the ftrace_ops. The mutex is taken within checking the ftrace_ops flag that states it was initializied but the flag is checked again after the mutex has been taken. Checking first outside the mutex allows it to shortcut having to take the mutex. But then the check needs to be done again after the mute is taken in case of races.

+PCI vNTB Function
+=================
+
+:Author: Frank Li <Frank.Li@nxp.com>
+
+The difference between PCI NTB function and PCI vNTB function is
+
+PCI NTB function need at two endpoint instances and connect HOST1
+and HOST2.
+
+PCI vNTB function only use one host and one endpoint(EP), use NTB
+connect EP and PCI host

+Constructs used for Implementing vNTB
+=====================================
+
+ 1) Config Region
+ 2) Self Scratchpad Registers
+ 3) Peer Scratchpad Registers
+ 4) Doorbell (DB) Registers
+ 5) Memory Window (MW)
+
+
+Config Region:
+--------------
+
+It is same as PCI NTB Function driver
+
+Scratchpad Registers:
+---------------------
+
+It is appended after Config region.

+Doorbell Registers:
+-------------------
+
+ Doorbell Registers are used by the hosts to interrupt each other.
+
+Memory Window:
+--------------
+
+ Actual transfer of data between the two hosts will happen using the
+ memory window.
