ftrace: prevent freeing of all failed updates

Prevent freeing of records which cause problems and correspond to function from
core kernel text. A new flag, FTRACE_FL_CONVERTED is used to mark a record
as "converted". All other records are patched lazily to NOPs. Failed records
now also remain on frace_hash table. Each invocation of ftrace_record_ip now
checks whether the traced function has ever been recorded (including past
failures) and doesn't re-record it again.
