Subject: [PATCH] ftrace: Protect ftrace_graph_hash with ftrace_sync


From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@...dmis.org>

As function_graph tracer can run when RCU is not "watching", it can not be
protected by synchronize_rcu() it requires running a task on each CPU before
it can be freed. Calling schedule_on_each_cpu(ftrace_sync) needs to be used.
