[PATCH] ftrace: show debugging information when panic_on_warn set

[PATCH] ftrace: show debugging information when panic_on_warn set

[Cheng Jian]

When an anomaly is detected in the function call modification
code, ftrace_bug() is called to disable function tracing as well
as give some warn and information that may help debug the problem.

But currently, we call FTRACE_WARN_ON_ONCE() first in ftrace_bug(),
so when panic_on_warn is set, we can't see the debugging information
here. Call FTRACE_WARN_ON_ONCE() at the end of ftrace_bug() to ensure
that the debugging information is displayed first.

after this patch, the dmesg looks like:

Thanks, I'll add this to my queue.
