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.

+MPLS Sysfs variables
+====================
+
+/proc/sys/net/mpls/* Variables:
+===============================
+
+platform_labels - INTEGER
+ Number of entries in the platform label table. It is not
+ possible to configure forwarding for label values equal to or
+ greater than the number of platform labels.
+
+ A dense utilization of the entries in the platform label table
+ is possible and expected as the platform labels are locally
+ allocated.
+
+ If the number of platform label table entries is set to 0 no
+ label will be recognized by the kernel and mpls forwarding
+ will be disabled.
+
+ Reducing this value will remove all label routing entries that
+ no longer fit in the table.
+
+ Possible values: 0 - 1048575
+
+ Default: 0
+
+ip_ttl_propagate - BOOL
+ Control whether TTL is propagated from the IPv4/IPv6 header to
+ the MPLS header on imposing labels and propagated from the
+ MPLS header to the IPv4/IPv6 header on popping the last label.
+
+ If disabled, the MPLS transport network will appear as a
+ single hop to transit traffic.
+
+ * 0 - disabled / RFC 3443 [Short] Pipe Model
+ * 1 - enabled / RFC 3443 Uniform Model (default)
+
+default_ttl - INTEGER
+ Default TTL value to use for MPLS packets where it cannot be
+ propagated from an IP header, either because one isn't present
+ or ip_ttl_propagate has been disabled.
+
+ Possible values: 1 - 255
+
+ Default: 255
+
+conf/<interface>/input - BOOL
+ Control whether packets can be input on this interface.
+
+ If disabled, packets will be discarded without further
+ processing.
+
+ * 0 - disabled (default)
+ * not 0 - enabled
