Pull ftrace bugfix from Steven Rostedt:
 "Takao Indoh reported that he was able to cause a ftrace bug while
  loading a module and enabling function tracing at the same time.

  He uncovered a race where the module when loaded will convert the
  calls to mcount into nops, and expects the module's text to be RW.
  But when function tracing is enabled, it will convert all kernel text
  (core and module) from RO to RW to convert the nops to calls to ftrace
  to record the function.  After the convertion, it will convert all the
  text back from RW to RO.

  The issue is, it will also convert the module's text that is loading.
  If it converts it to RO before ftrace does its conversion, it will
  cause ftrace to fail and require a reboot to fix it again.

  This patch moves the ftrace module update that converts calls to
  mcount into nops to be done when the module state is still
  MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED.  This will ignore the module when the text is
  being converted from RW back to RO"
