Steven Rostedt (Google) bd604f3db4 ftrace: Avoid needless updates of the ftrace function call
Song Shuai reported:

    The list func (ftrace_ops_list_func) will be patched first
    before the transition between old and new calls are set,
    which fixed the race described in this commit `59338f75`.

    While ftrace_trace_function changes from the list func to a
    ftrace_ops func, like unregistering the klp_ops to leave the only
    global_ops in ftrace_ops_list, the ftrace_[regs]_call will be
    replaced with the list func although it already exists. So there
    should be a condition to avoid this.

And suggested using another variable to keep track of what the ftrace
function is set to. But this could be simplified by using a helper
function that does the same with a static variable.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
