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.
