ftrace: startup tester on dynamic tracing.
This patch adds a startup self test on dynamic code modification and filters. The test filters on a specific function, makes sure that no other function is traced, exectutes the function, then makes sure that the function is traced. This patch also fixes a slight bug with the ftrace selftest, where tracer_enabled was not being set.
