Subject: ftrace: Protect ftrace_graph_hash with ftrace_sync
Git-commit: 54a16ff6f2e50775145b210bcd94d62c3c2af117
Patch-mainline: v5.6-rc1
References: git-fixes

As function_graph tracer can run when RCU is not "watching", it can not be
protected by synchronize_rcu() it requires running a task on each CPU before
it can be freed. Calling schedule_on_each_cpu(ftrace_sync) needs to be used.
