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.

+Introduction
+------------
+
+EDAC/RAS components plugging and high-level design:
+
+1. Scrub control
+
+2. Error Check Scrub (ECS) control
+
+3. ACPI RAS2 features
+
+4. Post Package Repair (PPR) control
+
+5. Memory Sparing Repair control
+
+High level design is illustrated in the following diagram::

+
+
+1. EDAC Features components - Create feature-specific descriptors. For
+ example: scrub, ECS, memory repair in the above diagram.
+
+2. EDAC device driver for controlling RAS Features - Get feature's attribute
+ descriptors from EDAC RAS feature component and registers device's RAS
+ features with EDAC bus and expose the features control attributes via
+ sysfs. For example, /sys/bus/edac/devices/<dev-name>/<feature>X/
+
+3. RAS dynamic feature controller - Userspace sample modules in rasdaemon for
+ dynamic scrub/repair control to issue scrubbing/repair when excess number
+ of corrected memory errors are reported in a short span of time.
+
+RAS features
+------------
+1. Memory Scrub
+
+Memory scrub features are documented in `Documentation/edac/scrub.rst`.
+
+2. Memory Repair
+
+Memory repair features are documented in `Documentation/edac/memory_repair.rst`.
