FWIW, this is useful to me as-is for testing stacktracing.

Before this series I had some horrid hacks to manipulate the global
filters, and after this series I just need to manipulate the filters in
fgraph_ops::ops, which is *much* nicer.

I've pushed out my WIP to:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mark/linux.git/log/?h=stacktrace/tests

... which is all to say, this is useful and I've given this some testing
beyond the usual ftrace tests.

Mark.
