ftrace: limit use of check pages
The check_pages function is called often enough that it can cause problems with trace outputs or even bringing the system to a halt. This patch limits the check_pages to the places that are most likely to have problems. The check is made at the flip between the global array and the max save array, as well as when the size of the buffers changes and the self tests. This patch also removes the BUG_ON from check_pages and replaces it with a WARN_ON and disabling of the tracer.
