fixes a long time minor bug.
The first patch fixes a race that can happen if the user switches
from the irqsoff tracer to another tracer. If a irqs off latency is
detected, it will try to use the snapshot buffer, but the new tracer
wont have it allocated. There's a nasty warning that gets printed and
the trace is ignored. Nothing crashes, just a nasty WARN_ON is shown.
The second patch fixes an issue where if the sysctl is used to disable
and enable function tracing, it can put the function tracing into an
unstable state.
The third patch fixes an issue with perf using the function tracer.
An update was done, where the stub function could be called during
the perf function tracing, and that stub function wont have the
"control" flag set and cause a nasty warning when running perf.
