Instead of needing additional checks in callers for unallocated przs,
perform the check in the walker, which gives us a more universal way to
handle the situation.

<title>pstore: Correctly initialize spinlock and flags</title>

The ram backend wasn't always initializing its spinlock correctly. Since
it was coming from kzalloc memory, though, it was harmless on
architectures that initialize unlocked spinlocks to 0 (at least x86 and
ARM). This also fixes a possibly ignored flag setting too.

When running under CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK, the following Oops was visible:

We'll OOPS in ramoops_get_next_prz() if the platform didn't ask for any
ftrace zones (i.e., cxt-&gt;fprzs will be NULL). Let's just skip this
entire FTRACE section if there's no 'fprzs'.

Regression seen on a coreboot/depthcharge-based Chromebook.

This adds a check for a NULL platform data, which should only be possible
if a driver incorrectly sets up a probe request without also having defined
the platform_data structure. This is based on a patch from Geliang Tang.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't know why it needs to copy the
input buffer to psinfo-&gt;buf and then write.  Instead we can write the
input buffer directly.  The only implementation that supports console
message (i.e. ramoops) already does it for ftrace messages.

For the upcoming virtio backend driver, it needs to protect psinfo-&gt;buf
overwritten from console messages.  If it could use -&gt;write_buf method
instead of -&gt;write, the problem will be solved easily.

<title>pstore: Protect unlink with read_mutex</title>

When update_ms is set, pstore_get_records() will be called when there's
a new entry.  But unlink can be called at the same time and might
contend with the open-read-close loop.  Depending on the implementation
of platform driver, it may be safe or not.  But I think it'd be better
to protect those race in the first place.

<title>pstore: Use global ftrace filters for function trace filtering</title>

Currently, pstore doesn't have any filters setup for function tracing.
This has the associated overhead and may not be useful for users looking
for tracing specific set of functions.

ftrace's regular function trace filtering is done writing to
tracing/set_ftrace_filter however this is not available if not requested.
In order to be able to use this feature, the support to request global
filtering introduced earlier in the series should be requested before
registering the ftrace ops. Here we do the same.

Since "przs" (persistent ram zones) is a general name in the code now, so
rename the Oops-dump zones to dprzs from przs.

Based on a patch from Nobuhiro Iwamatsu.
