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.

+Using UFS
+=========
+
+mount -t ufs -o ufstype=type_of_ufs device dir
+
+
+UFS Options
+===========
+
+ufstype=type_of_ufs
+ UFS is a file system widely used in different operating systems.
+ The problem are differences among implementations. Features of
+ some implementations are undocumented, so its hard to recognize
+ type of ufs automatically. That's why user must specify type of
+ ufs manually by mount option ufstype. Possible values are:
+
+ old
+ old format of ufs
+ default value, supported as read-only
+
+ 44bsd
+ used in FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD
+ supported as read-write
+
+ ufs2
+ used in FreeBSD 5.x
+ supported as read-write
+
+ 5xbsd
+ synonym for ufs2
+
+ sun
+ used in SunOS (Solaris)
+ supported as read-write
+
+ sunx86
+ used in SunOS for Intel (Solarisx86)
+ supported as read-write
+
+ hp
+ used in HP-UX
+ supported as read-only
+
+ nextstep
+ used in NextStep
+ supported as read-only
+
+ nextstep-cd
+ used for NextStep CDROMs (block_size == 2048)
+ supported as read-only
+
+ openstep
+ used in OpenStep
+ supported as read-only
+

+Bug Reports

+
+Any ufs bug report you can send to daniel.pirkl@email.cz or
+to dushistov@mail.ru (do not send partition tables bug reports).
