ftrace: separate out the function enabled variable
Currently the function tracer uses the global tracer_enabled variable that is used to keep track if the tracer is enabled or not. The function tracing startup needs to be separated out, otherwise the internal happenings of the tracer startup is also recorded. This patch creates a ftrace_function_enabled variable to all the starting of the function traces to happen after everything has been started.
