ftrace: perform an initialization for ftrace to enable it



Impact: corrects a bug which made the non-dyn function tracer not functional

With latest git, the non-dynamic 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.
