Actually, if you are looking for where interrupts were disabled last
before triggering the "sleeping function called from invalid context",
lockdep, not ftrace, would be your better bet.

Enable lockdep with CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING. It will give you better
information about where the last irq was disabled.
