ftrace: selftest protect againt max flip 

There is a slight race condition in the selftest where the max update
of the wakeup and irqs/preemption off tests can be doing a max update as
the buffers are being tested. If this happens the system can crash with
a GPF.

This patch adds the max update spinlock around the checking of the
buffers to prevent such a race.
