Linus Torvalds 5263f0a880 This fixes a long standing bug in the ftrace profiler.
The problem is that the profiler only initializes the online
 CPUs, and not possible CPUs. This causes issues if the user takes
 CPUs online or offline while the profiler is running.
 
 If we online a CPU after starting the profiler, we lose all the
 trace information on the CPU going online.
 
 If we offline a CPU after running a test and start a new test, it
 will not clear the old data from that CPU.
 
 This bug causes incorrect data to be reported to the user if they
 online or offline CPUs during the profiling.
