    ftrace: Create ftrace_hash_empty() helper routine · 06a51d93
    Steven Rostedt authored
    There are two types of hashes in the ftrace_ops; one type
    is the filter_hash and the other is the notrace_hash. Either
    one may be null, meaning it has no elements. But when elements
    are added, the hash is allocated.
    
    Throughout the code, a check needs to be made to see if a hash
    exists or the hash has elements, but the check if the hash exists
    is usually missing causing the possible "NULL pointer dereference bug".
    
    Add a helper routine called "ftrace_hash_empty()" that returns
    true if the hash doesn't exist or its count is zero. As they mean
    the same thing.
