tracing: Warn on output if the function tracer was found corrupted
As the function tracer is very intrusive, lots of self checks are performed on the tracer and if something is found to be strange it will shut itself down keeping it from corrupting the rest of the kernel. This shutdown may still allow functions to be traced, as the tracing only stops new modifications from happening. Trying to stop the function tracer itself can cause more harm as it requires code modification. Although a WARN_ON() is executed, a user may not notice it. To help the user see that something isn't right with the tracing of the system a big warning is added to the output of the tracer that lets the user know that their data may be incomplete.
