Either that or move all allocations to happen via some MC function,
but this is out of the scope of this patch.
Whatever way we fix it, it is important to know when mdev
is supposed to cease to exist, and if this call happens
before or after the removal of all objects from the graph.

Again, the problem here is to compare this with OOPs and other debug
messages, to see if the release is happening at the proper place.
Ftrace is not meant to be used for OOPS debug, nor it provides data
to the console, as it is not designed to be used for that purpose.
