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.
