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.

+
+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+
+The scheduler monitor collection is a container for several monitors to model
+the behaviour of the scheduler. Each monitor describes a specification that
+the scheduler should follow.
+
+As a monitor container, it will enable all nested monitors and set them
+according to OPTIONS.
+Nevertheless nested monitors can also be activated independently both by name
+and by specifying sched: , e.g. to enable only monitor tss you can do any of:
+
+ # rv mon sched:tss
+
+ # rv mon tss
+
+See kernel documentation for further information about this monitor:
+<https://docs.kernel.org/trace/rv/monitor_sched.html>
+
+OPTIONS
+=======
+
+.. include:: common_ikm.rst
+
+NESTED MONITOR
+==============
+
+The available nested monitors are:
+ * scpd: schedule called with preemption disabled
+ * snep: schedule does not enable preempt
+ * sncid: schedule not called with interrupt disabled
+ * snroc: set non runnable on its own context
+ * sco: scheduling context operations
+ * tss: task switch while scheduling

+Runtime Verification
+--------------------
+
+:Manual section: 1
+
+SYNOPSIS
+========
+
+**rv** *COMMAND* [*OPTIONS*]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+
+Runtime Verification (**RV**) is a lightweight (yet rigorous) method
+for formal verification with a practical approach for complex systems.
+Instead of relying on a fine-grained model of a system (e.g., a
+re-implementation a instruction level), RV works by analyzing the trace
+of the system's actual execution, comparing it against a formal
+specification of the system behavior.
+
+The **rv** tool provides the interface for a collection of runtime
+verification (rv) monitors.
+
+COMMANDS
+========
+
+**list**
+
+ List all available monitors.
+
+**mon**
+
+ Run monitor.
+
+OPTIONS
+=======
+
+**-h**, **--help**
+
+ Display the help text.
+
+For other options, see the man page for the corresponding command.
