ftrace: Using FTRACE_WARN_ON() to check "freed record" in ftrace_release()

 "Because when we call ftrace_free_rec we change the rec->ip to point to the
  next record in the chain. Something is very wrong if rec->ip >= s &&
  rec->ip < e and the record is already free."

 "Note, use FTRACE_WARN_ON() macro. This way it shuts down ftrace if it is
  hit and helps to avoid further damage later."
