ftrace: consolidate mutexes
Impact: clean up
Now that ftrace_lock is a mutex, there is no reason to have three
different mutexes protecting similar data. All the mutex paths
are not in hot paths, so having a mutex to cover more data is
not a problem.
This patch removes the ftrace_sysctl_lock and ftrace_start_lock
and uses the ftrace_lock to protect the locations that were protected
by these locks. By doing so, this change also removes some of
the lock nesting that was taking place.
There are still more mutexes in ftrace.c that can probably be
consolidated, but they can be dealt with later. We need to be careful
about the way the locks are nested, and by consolidating, we can cause
a recursive deadlock.
