applied the following bits to tip/tracing/ftrace:

3ce83ae: ftrace: rename the ftrace tracer to function
606576c: ftrace: rename FTRACE to FUNCTION_TRACER
c2db805: ftrace: fix depends
bd95b88: ftrace: release functions from hash
c513867: ftrace: do not enclose logic in WARN_ON

thanks Steve! I left out the defconfig bits - out of sync symbol names
there do not hurt, and those files are high-flux anyway and generally
updated by the arch maintainers regularly.
