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.

+ * Strbuf's can be use in many ways: as a byte array, or to store arbitrary
+ * long, overflow safe strings.
+ *
+ * Strbufs has some invariants that are very important to keep in mind:
+ *
+ * 1. the ->buf member is always malloc-ed, hence strbuf's can be used to
+ * build complex strings/buffers whose final size isn't easily known.
+ *
+ * It is NOT legal to copy the ->buf pointer away.
+ * `strbuf_detach' is the operation that detaches a buffer from its shell
+ * while keeping the shell valid wrt its invariants.
+ *
+ * 2. the ->buf member is a byte array that has at least ->len + 1 bytes
+ * allocated. The extra byte is used to store a '\0', allowing the ->buf
+ * member to be a valid C-string. Every strbuf function ensure this
+ * invariant is preserved.
+ *
+ * Note that it is OK to "play" with the buffer directly if you work it
+ * that way:
+ *
+ * strbuf_grow(sb, SOME_SIZE);
+ * ... Here, the memory array starting at sb->buf, and of length
+ * ... strbuf_avail(sb) is all yours, and you are sure that
+ * ... strbuf_avail(sb) is at least SOME_SIZE.
+ * strbuf_setlen(sb, sb->len + SOME_OTHER_SIZE);
+ *
+ * Of course, SOME_OTHER_SIZE must be smaller or equal to strbuf_avail(sb).
+ *
+ * Doing so is safe, though if it has to be done in many places, adding the
+ * missing API to the strbuf module is the way to go.
+ *
+ * XXX: do _not_ assume that the area that is yours is of size ->alloc - 1
+ * even if it's true in the current implementation. Alloc is somehow a
+ * "private" member that should not be messed with.
