Subject: ftrace: Sort all function addresses, not just per page

Instead of just sorting the ip's of the functions per ftrace page,
sort the entire list before adding them to the ftrace pages.

This will allow the bsearch algorithm to be sped up as it can
also sort by pages, not just records within a page.
