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.

+GPU RFC Section
+===============
+
+For complex work, especially new uapi, it is often good to nail the high level
+design issues before getting lost in the code details. This section is meant to
+host such documentation:
+
+* Each RFC should be a section in this file, explaining the goal and main design
+ considerations. Especially for uapi make sure you Cc: all relevant project
+ mailing lists and involved people outside of dri-devel.
+
+* For uapi structures add a file to this directory with and then pull the
+ kerneldoc in like with real uapi headers.
+
+* Once the code has landed move all the documentation to the right places in
+ the main core, helper or driver sections.
