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.

+
+
+TCP Segmentation Offload
+========================
+
+TCP segmentation allows a device to segment a single frame into multiple
+frames with a data payload size specified in skb_shinfo()->gso_size.
+When TCP segmentation requested the bit for either SKB_GSO_TCPV4 or
+SKB_GSO_TCPV6 should be set in skb_shinfo()->gso_type and
+skb_shinfo()->gso_size should be set to a non-zero value.
+
+TCP segmentation is dependent on support for the use of partial checksum
+offload.  For this reason TSO is normally disabled if the Tx checksum
+offload for a given device is disabled.
+
+In order to support TCP segmentation offload it is necessary to populate
+the network and transport header offsets of the skbuff so that the device
+drivers will be able determine the offsets of the IP or IPv6 header and the
+TCP header.  In addition as CHECKSUM_PARTIAL is required csum_start should
+also point to the TCP header of the packet, or to the inner transport header
+for encapsulated TSO.
+
+For IPv4 segmentation we support one of two types in terms of the IP ID.
+The default behavior is to increment the IP ID with every segment.  If the
+GSO type SKB_GSO_TCP_FIXEDID is specified then we will not increment the IP
+ID and all segments will use the same IP ID.
+
+For encapsulated packets, SKB_GSO_TCP_FIXEDID refers only to the outer header.
+SKB_GSO_TCP_FIXEDID_INNER can be used to specify the same for the inner header.
+Any combination of these two GSO types is allowed.
+
+If a device has NETIF_F_TSO_MANGLEID set then the IP ID can be ignored when
+performing TSO and we will either increment the IP ID for all frames, or leave
+it at a static value based on driver preference.  For encapsulated packets,
+NETIF_F_TSO_MANGLEID is relevant for both outer and inner headers, unless the
+DF bit is not set on the outer header, in which case the device driver must
+guarantee that the IP ID field is incremented in the outer header with every
+segment.
+
+SKB_GSO_TCP_ACCECN is a modifier used with TCP segmentation offload for
+AccECN packets where the CWR bit must not be cleared during segmentation.
+Devices advertise support for this using NETIF_F_GSO_ACCECN.
+
+
+UDP Fragmentation Offload
+=========================
+
+UDP fragmentation offload allows a device to fragment an oversized UDP
+datagram into multiple IPv4 fragments.  Many of the requirements for UDP
+fragmentation offload are the same as TSO.  However the IPv4 ID for
+fragments should not increment as a single IPv4 datagram is fragmented.
+
+UFO is deprecated: modern kernels will no longer generate UFO skbs, but can
+still receive them from tuntap and similar devices. Offload of UDP-based
+tunnel protocols is still supported.
+
+
+UDP Segmentation Offload
+========================
+
+UDP segmentation offload allows a device to segment a large UDP packet into
+multiple UDP datagrams.  Unlike UFO, these are not IP fragments.  The payload
+size of each datagram is specified in skb_shinfo()->gso_size and the GSO type
+is SKB_GSO_UDP_L4.  Devices advertise support for this using
+NETIF_F_GSO_UDP_L4.
+
+
+IPIP, SIT, GRE, UDP Tunnel, and Remote Checksum Offloads
+========================================================
+
+In addition to the offloads described above it is possible for a frame to
+contain additional headers such as an outer tunnel.  In order to account
+for such instances an additional set of segmentation offload types were
+introduced including SKB_GSO_IPXIP4, SKB_GSO_IPXIP6, SKB_GSO_GRE, and
+SKB_GSO_UDP_TUNNEL.  These extra segmentation types are used to identify
+cases where there are more than just 1 set of headers.  For example in the
+case of IPIP and SIT we should have the network and transport headers moved
+from the standard list of headers to "inner" header offsets.
+
+Currently only two levels of headers are supported.  The convention is to
+refer to the tunnel headers as the outer headers, while the encapsulated
+data is normally referred to as the inner headers.  Below is the list of
+calls to access the given headers:
+
+IPIP/SIT Tunnel::
+
+             Outer                  Inner
+  MAC        skb_mac_header
+  Network    skb_network_header     skb_inner_network_header
+  Transport  skb_transport_header
+
+UDP/GRE Tunnel::
+
+             Outer                  Inner
+  MAC        skb_mac_header         skb_inner_mac_header
+  Network    skb_network_header     skb_inner_network_header
+  Transport  skb_transport_header   skb_inner_transport_header
+
+In addition to the above tunnel types there are also SKB_GSO_GRE_CSUM and
+SKB_GSO_UDP_TUNNEL_CSUM.  These two additional tunnel types reflect the
+fact that the outer header also requests to have a non-zero checksum
+included in the outer header.
+
+Finally there is SKB_GSO_TUNNEL_REMCSUM which indicates that a given tunnel
+header has requested a remote checksum offload.  In this case the inner
+headers will be left with a partial checksum and only the outer header
+checksum will be computed.
+
+
+Generic Segmentation Offload
+============================
+
+Generic segmentation offload is a pure software offload that is meant to
+deal with cases where device drivers cannot perform the offloads described
+above.  What occurs in GSO is that a given skbuff will have its data broken
+out over multiple skbuffs that have been resized to match the MSS provided
+via skb_shinfo()->gso_size.
+
+Before enabling any hardware segmentation offload a corresponding software
+offload is required in GSO.  Otherwise it becomes possible for a frame to
+be re-routed between devices and end up being unable to be transmitted.
+
+
+Generic Receive Offload
+=======================
+
+Generic receive offload is the complement to GSO.  Ideally any frame
+assembled by GRO should be segmented to create an identical sequence of
+frames using GSO, and any sequence of frames segmented by GSO should be
+able to be reassembled back to the original by GRO.
+
+
+Partial Generic Segmentation Offload
+====================================
+
+Partial generic segmentation offload is a hybrid between TSO and GSO.  What
+it effectively does is take advantage of certain traits of TCP and tunnels
+so that instead of having to rewrite the packet headers for each segment
+only the inner-most transport header and possibly the outer-most network
+header need to be updated.  This allows devices that do not support tunnel
+offloads or tunnel offloads with checksum to still make use of segmentation.
+
+With the partial offload what occurs is that all headers excluding the
+inner transport header are updated such that they will contain the correct
+values for if the header was simply duplicated.  The one exception to this
+is the outer IPv4 ID field.  It is up to the device drivers to guarantee
+that the IPv4 ID field is incremented in the case that a given header does
+not have the DF bit set.
+
+
+ESP Segmentation Offload
+========================
+
+ESP segmentation offload uses SKB_GSO_ESP to mark packets that require
+IPsec ESP segmentation.  This type is set by the XFRM output path for GSO
+packets handled by ESP hardware offload.
+
+
+Fraglist Generic Segmentation Offload
+=====================================
+
+Fraglist GSO uses SKB_GSO_FRAGLIST to mark packets whose segments are
+already arranged as a list of skbs.  The segmentation path splits the skb
+based on that list rather than by creating segments of skb_shinfo()->gso_size
+bytes from the linear and page-fragment data.
+
+
+SCTP acceleration with GSO
+===========================
+
+SCTP - despite the lack of hardware support - can still take advantage of
+GSO to pass one large packet through the network stack, rather than
+multiple small packets.
+
+This requires a different approach to other offloads, as SCTP packets
+cannot be just segmented to (P)MTU. Rather, the chunks must be contained in
+IP segments, padding respected. So unlike regular GSO, SCTP can't just
+generate a big skb, set gso_size to the fragmentation point and deliver it
+to IP layer.
+
+Instead, the SCTP protocol layer builds an skb with the segments correctly
+padded and stored as chained skbs, and skb_segment() splits based on those.
+To signal this, gso_size is set to the special value GSO_BY_FRAGS.
+
+Therefore, any code in the core networking stack must be aware of the
+possibility that gso_size will be GSO_BY_FRAGS and handle that case
+appropriately.
+
+There are some helpers to make this easier:
+
+- skb_is_gso(skb) && skb_is_gso_sctp(skb) is the best way to see if
+  an skb is an SCTP GSO skb.
+
+- For size checks, the skb_gso_validate_*_len family of helpers correctly
+  considers GSO_BY_FRAGS.
+
+- For manipulating packets, skb_increase_gso_size and skb_decrease_gso_size
+  will check for GSO_BY_FRAGS and WARN if asked to manipulate these skbs.
+
+This also affects drivers with the NETIF_F_FRAGLIST & NETIF_F_GSO_SCTP bits
+set. Note also that NETIF_F_GSO_SCTP is included in NETIF_F_GSO_SOFTWARE.
