ftrace: Update dynamic ftrace calls only if necessary

Currently dynamic ftrace calls are updated any time
the ftrace_ops is un/registered. If we do  this update
only when it's needed, we save lot of time for perf
system wide ftrace function sampling/counting.

The reason is that for system wide sampling/counting,
perf creates event for each cpu in the system.

Each event then registers separate copy of ftrace_ops,
which ends up in FTRACE_UPDATE_CALLS updates. On servers
with many cpus that means serious stall (240 cpus server):

Counting:
  # time ./perf stat -e ftrace:function -a sleep 1

   Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

              370,663      ftrace:function

          1.401427505 seconds time elapsed

  real    3m51.743s
  user    0m0.023s
  sys     3m48.569s

Sampling:
  # time ./perf record -e ftrace:function -a sleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 0 times to write data ]
  Warning:
  Processed 141200 events and lost 5 chunks!

  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 10.703 MB perf.data (135950 samples) ]

  real    2m31.429s
  user    0m0.213s
  sys     2m29.494s

There's no reason to do the FTRACE_UPDATE_CALLS update
for each event in perf case, because all the ftrace_ops
always share the same filter, so the updated calls are
always the same.

It's required that only first ftrace_ops registration
does the FTRACE_UPDATE_CALLS update (also sometimes
the second if the first one used the trampoline), but
the rest can be only cheaply linked into the ftrace_ops
list.
