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 is a sample code about how to use timerlat's timer by any workload
+# so rtla can measure and provide auto-analysis for the overall latency (IOW
+# the response time) for a task.
+#
+# Before running it, you need to dispatch timerlat with -U option in a terminal.
+# Then # run this script pinned to a CPU on another terminal. For example:
+#
+# timerlat_load.py 1 -p 95
+#
+# The "Timerlat IRQ" is the IRQ latency, The thread latency is the latency
+# for the python process to get the CPU. The Ret from user Timer Latency is
+# the overall latency. In other words, it is the response time for that
+# activation.
+#
+# This is just an example, the load is reading 20MB of data from /dev/full
+# It is in python because it is easy to read :-)
