From: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx> commit fd3dc56253acbe9c641a66d312d8393cd55eb04c upstream. After someone reported a bug report with a failed modification due to the expected value not matching what was found, it came to my attention that the ftrace_expected is no longer set when that happens. This makes for debugging the issue a bit more difficult. Set ftrace_expected to the expected code before calling ftrace_bug, so that it shows what was expected and why it failed.
