Subject: [PATCH] dual license ftrace.txt


I asked legal about the licensing of ftrace.txt, and they told me that, 
unless the Documentation directory is specifically set up to handle non 
GPL licenses (which it does not appear to be), then it would be best to 
put ftrace.txt under the GPL.

This patch adds a dual license to ftrace.txt such that it is under both 
the FDL and the GPL.
