Subject: ftrace: Check for empty hash and comment the race with registering
 probes
Git-commit: 372e0d01da71c84dcecf7028598a33813b0d5256
Patch-mainline: v5.3-rc7
References: bsc#1149418

The race between adding a function probe and reading the probes that exist
is very subtle. It needs a comment. Also, the issue can also happen if the
probe has has the EMPTY_HASH as its func_hash.
