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.

Enabled by default, + disable with --no-source. + +--symfs=<directory[,layout]>:: + Look for files with symbols relative to this directory.

Note that this is about selection of + functions to display, not about lines within the function. + +--data-type[=TYPE_NAME]:: + Display data type annotation instead of code. It infers data type of + samples (if they are memory accessing instructions) using DWARF debug + information. It can take an optional argument of data type name.
