ftrace: disable tracing on failure
Since ftrace touches practically every function. If we detect any anomaly, we want to fully disable ftrace. This patch adds code to try shutdown ftrace as much as possible without doing any more harm is something is detected not quite correct. This only kills ftrace, this patch does have checks for other parts of the tracer (irqsoff, wakeup, etc.).
