Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Fix a race in function profile

While we are reading trace_stat/functionX and someone just
disabled function_profile at that time, we can trigger this:

divide error: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP
...
EIP is at function_stat_show+0x90/0x230
...

This fix just takes the ftrace_profile_lock and checks if
rec->counter is 0. If it's 0, we know the profile buffer
has been reset.

Thanks Li!

I'll add this to my queue, test it, and then push it up as a -rc and
stable fix.
