ftrace: add debugfs entry 'failures'
Identify functions which had their mcount call-site updates failed. This can help us track functions which ftrace shouldn't fiddle with, and are thus not being traced. If there is no race with any external agent which is modifying the mcount call-site, then this file displays no entries (normal case).
