ftrace: freeze kprobe'd records

Let records identified as being kprobe'd be marked as "frozen". The trouble
with records which have a kprobe installed on their mcount call-site is
that they don't get updated. So if such a function which is currently being
traced gets its tracing disabled due to a new filter rule (or because it
was added to the notrace list) then it won't be updated and continue being
traced. This patch allows scanning of all frozen records during tracing to
check if they should be traced.
