    tracing: Do not enable function event with enable · 9b63776f

    With the adding of function tracing event to perf, it caused a
    side effect that produces the following warning when enabling all
    events in ftrace:
    
     # echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/enable
    
    [console]
    event trace: Could not enable event function
    
    This is because when enabling all events via the debugfs system
    it ignores events that do not have a ->reg() function assigned.
    This was to skip over the ftrace internal events (as they are
    not TRACE_EVENTs). But as the ftrace function event now has
    a ->reg() function attached to it for use with perf, it is no
    longer ignored.
    
    Worse yet, this ->reg() function is being called when it should
    not be. It returns an error and causes the above warning to
    be printed.
    
    By adding a new event_call flag (TRACE_EVENT_FL_IGNORE_ENABLE)
    and have all ftrace internel event structures have it set,
    setting the events/enable will no longe try to incorrectly enable
    the function event and does not warn.
