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.

+BTRFS
+=====
+
+Btrfs is a copy on write filesystem for Linux aimed at implementing advanced
+features while focusing on fault tolerance, repair and easy administration.
+Jointly developed by several companies, licensed under the GPL and open for
+contribution from anyone.
+
+The main Btrfs features include:
+
+ * Extent based file storage (2^64 max file size)
+ * Space efficient packing of small files
+ * Space efficient indexed directories
+ * Dynamic inode allocation
+ * Writable snapshots
+ * Subvolumes (separate internal filesystem roots)
+ * Object level mirroring and striping
+ * Checksums on data and metadata (multiple algorithms available)
+ * Compression (multiple algorithms available)
+ * Reflink, deduplication
+ * Scrub (on-line checksum verification)
+ * Hierarchical quota groups (subvolume and snapshot support)
+ * Integrated multiple device support, with several raid algorithms
+ * Offline filesystem check
+ * Efficient incremental backup and FS mirroring (send/receive)
+ * Trim/discard
+ * Online filesystem defragmentation
+ * Swapfile support
+ * Zoned mode
+ * Read/write metadata verification
+ * Online resize (shrink, grow)
+
