Subject: [PATCH][RESEND] tracing/ftrace: Types and naming corrections for
 sched tracer

(depends on tracing/fastboot: Use sched switch tracer from boot tracer)
---
This patch applies some corrections suggested by Steven Rostedt.

Change the type of shed_ref into int since it is used
into a Mutex, we don't need it anymore as an atomic
variable in the sched_switch tracer.
Also change the name of the register mutex.
