ftrace: Fix unregister ftrace_ops accounting

Multiple users of the function tracer can register their functions
with the ftrace_ops structure. The accounting within ftrace will
update the counter on each function record that is being traced.
When the ftrace_ops filtering adds or removes functions, the
function records will be updated accordingly if the ftrace_ops is
still registered.

When a ftrace_ops is removed, the counter of the function records,
that the ftrace_ops traces, are decremented. When they reach zero
the functions that they represent are modified to stop calling the
mcount code.

When changes are made, the code is updated via stop_machine() with
a command passed to the function to tell it what to do. There is an
ENABLE and DISABLE command that tells the called function to enable
or disable the functions. But the ENABLE is really a misnomer as it
should just update the records, as records that have been enabled
and now have a count of zero should be disabled.

The DISABLE command is used to disable all functions regardless of
their counter values. This is the big off switch and is not the
complement of the ENABLE command.

To make matters worse, when a ftrace_ops is unregistered and there
is another ftrace_ops registered, neither the DISABLE nor the
ENABLE command are set when calling into the stop_machine() function
and the records will not be updated to match their counter. A command
is passed to that function that will update the mcount code to call
the registered callback directly if it is the only one left. This
means that the ftrace_ops that is still registered will have its callback
called by all functions that have been set for it as well as the ftrace_ops
that was just unregistered.

Here's a way to trigger this bug. Compile the kernel with
CONFIG_FUNCTION_PROFILER set and with CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH not set:

 CONFIG_FUNCTION_PROFILER=y
 # CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH is not set

This will force the function profiler to use the function tracer instead
of the function graph tracer.

The same problem could have happened with the trace_probe_ops,
but they are modified with the set_frace_filter file which does the
update at closure of the file.

The simple solution is to change ENABLE to UPDATE and call it every
time an ftrace_ops is unregistered.
