[PATCH 7/8] ftrace: add ftrace_kill_atomic

[-- Attachment #1: ftrace-kill-atomic.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1802 bytes --]

It has been suggested that I add a way to disable the function tracer
on an oops. This code adds a ftrace_kill_atomic. It is not meant to be
used in normal situations. It will disable the ftrace tracer, but will
not perform the nice shutdown that requires scheduling.
