ftrace: add ftrace_off_permanent

Browse source 
Impact: add new API to disable all of ftrace on anomalies

It case of a serious anomaly being detected (like something caught by
lockdep) it is a good idea to disable all tracing immediately, without
grabing any locks.

This patch adds ftrace_off_permanent that disables the tracers, function
tracing and ring buffers without a way to enable them again. This should
only be used when something serious has been detected.
