Steven Rostedt 31f505dc70 ftrace: Implement :mod: cache filtering on kernel command line
Module functions can be set to set_ftrace_filter before the module is
loaded.

  # echo :mod:snd_hda_intel > set_ftrace_filter

This will enable all the functions for the module snd_hda_intel. If that
module is not loaded, it is "cached" in the trace array for when the
module is loaded, its functions will be traced.

But this is not implemented in the kernel command line. That's because the
kernel command line filtering is added very early in boot up as it is
needed to be done before boot time function tracing can start, which is
also available very early in boot up. The code used by the
"set_ftrace_filter" file can not be used that early as it depends on some
other initialization to occur first. But some of the functions can.

Implement the ":mod:" feature of "set_ftrace_filter" in the kernel command
line parsing. Now function tracing on just a single module that is loaded
at boot up can be done.

Adding:

 ftrace=function ftrace_filter=:mod:sna_hda_intel

To the kernel command line will only enable the sna_hda_intel module
functions when the module is loaded, and it will start tracing.
