The only problem with this approach is what happens if the user changes
the enabled in between these two calls. This would make ftrace
inconsistent.

I have a patch from the -rt tree that handles what you want. It is
attached below. Not sure how well it will apply to mainline.

I really need to go through the rt patch set and start submitting a bunch
of clean-up/fixes to mainline. We've been meaning to do it, just have been
distracted :-(

Subject: ftrace: cpu hotplug fix

Peter Zijlstra found that taking down and bringing up a new CPU caused
ftrace to crash the kernel. This was due to some arch calls that were
being traced by the function tracer before the smp_processor_id was set
up. Since the function tracer uses smp_processor_id it caused a triple
fault.

Instead of adding notrace all over the architecture code to prevent
this problem, it is easier to simply disable the function tracer
when bringing up a new CPU.
