Steven Rostedt 944ac4259e ftrace: ftrace dump on oops control
Impact: add (default-off) dump-trace-on-oops flag

Currently, ftrace is set up to dump its contents to the console if the
kernel panics or oops. This can be annoying if you have trace data in
the buffers and you experience an oops, but the trace data is old or
static.

Usually when you want ftrace to dump its contents is when you are debugging
your system and you have set up ftrace to trace the events leading to
an oops.

This patch adds a control variable called "ftrace_dump_on_oops" that will
enable the ftrace dump to console on oops. This variable is default off
but a developer can enable it either through the kernel command line
by adding "ftrace_dump_on_oops" or at run time by setting (or disabling)
/proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_dump_on_oops.

v2:

   Replaced /** with /* as Randy explained that kernel-doc does
    not yet handle variables.
