ftrace: Do not call stub functions in control loop

The function tracing control loop used by perf spits out a warning
if the called function is not a control function. This is because
the control function references a per cpu allocated data structure
on struct ftrace_ops that is not allocated for other types of
functions.

commit 0a01640 "ftrace: Optimize the function tracer list loop"

Had an optimization done to all function tracing loops to optimize
for a single registered ops. Unfortunately, this allows for a slight
race when tracing starts or ends, where the stub function might be
called after the current registered ops is removed. In this case we
get the following dump:

root# perf stat -e ftrace:function sleep 1

To fix this a new ftrace_ops flag is added that denotes the ftrace_list_end
ftrace_ops stub as just that, a stub. This flag is now checked in the
control loop and the function is not called if the flag is set.

Thanks to Jovi for not just reporting the bug, but also pointing out
where the bug was in the code.
