LTP testsuite on powerpc results in the below crash:

The test (ftrace_set_ftrace_filter.sh) is part of ftrace stress tests
and the crash happens when the test does 'cat
$TRACING_PATH/set_ftrace_filter'.

The address points to the second line below, in t_probe_next(), where
filter_hash is dereferenced:
  hash = iter->probe->ops.func_hash->filter_hash;
  size = 1 << hash->size_bits;

This happens due to a race with register_ftrace_function_probe(). A new
ftrace_func_probe is created and added into the func_probes list in
trace_array under ftrace_lock. However, before initializing the filter,
we drop ftrace_lock, and re-acquire it after acquiring regex_lock. If
another process is trying to read set_ftrace_filter, it will be able to
acquire ftrace_lock during this window and it will end up seeing a NULL
filter_hash.

Fix this by just checking for a NULL filter_hash in t_probe_next(). If
the filter_hash is NULL, then this probe is just being added and we can
simply return from here.
