Impact: Corrects a bug which made the function tracer not functionnal

With latest git, the function tracer didn't get any trace.
The problem was the fact that ftrace_enabled wasn't
initialized to 1 because ftrace hasn't any init function when DYNAMIC_FTRACE
is disabled.
So when a tracer tries to register an ftrace_ops struct, 
__register_ftrace_function failed to set the hook.

This patch corrects it by setting an init function to initialize
ftrace during the boot.
