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.

+ This option enables fs-verity. fs-verity is the dm-verity
+ mechanism implemented at the file level. On supported
+ filesystems (currently ext4, f2fs, and btrfs), userspace can
+ use an ioctl to enable verity for a file, which causes the
+ filesystem to build a Merkle tree for the file. The filesystem
+ will then transparently verify any data read from the file
+ against the Merkle tree. The file is also made read-only.
+
+ This serves as an integrity check, but the availability of the
+ Merkle tree root hash also allows efficiently supporting
+ various use cases where normally the whole file would need to
+ be hashed at once, such as: (a) auditing (logging the file's
+ hash), or (b) authenticity verification (comparing the hash
+ against a known good value, e.g. from a digital signature).
+
+ fs-verity is especially useful on large files where not all
+ the contents may actually be needed. Also, fs-verity verifies
+ data each time it is paged back in, which provides better
+ protection against malicious disks vs. an ahead-of-time hash.

+
+ Please take great care before using this feature. It is not
+ the only way to do signatures with fs-verity, and the
+ alternatives (such as userspace signature verification, and
+ IMA appraisal) can be much better. For details about the
+ limitations of this feature, see
+ Documentation/filesystems/fsverity.rst.
