Actually, I rather break up the ftrace notifiers into two different
notifiers. One for coming and one for going (I use to have that before
hard coding the module updates in the module code).

Have the coming notifier be INT_MAX, where it runs before everything
else (which it should, as tracing should be enabled then). And have the
module going to stay INT_MIN to run after everything.
