I think I like this solution the best. I believe it was the original
solution for ftrace until we realized that it can be also done by a
notifier.

It also makes it more in line with what the core kernel does, as I
considered notifiers similar to initcalls and the init code for ftrace
is hard coded in init/main.c and not done by initcalls, as it is
important to be done before anything else.

Yeah, a ftrace_init_module() hard coded in where the module state is
still MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED, would work.
