Hi Steven,

I noticed that concurrent instances of ftrace_record_ip() have a race between ftrace_hash list traversal during ftrace_ip_in_hash() (before acquiring ftrace_shutdown_lock) and ftrace_add_hash().If it's so then this should fix it.

Accommodate traversal of ftrace_hash hlist with concurrent insertions.
