ftrace: Replace read_barrier_depends() with rcu_dereference_raw()
Replace the calls to read_barrier_depends() in ftrace_list_func() with rcu_dereference_raw() to improve readability. The reason that we use rcu_dereference_raw() here is that removed entries are never freed, instead they are simply leaked. This is one of a very few cases where use of rcu_dereference_raw() is the long-term right answer. And I don't yet know of any others. ;-) Signed-off-by: Paul E.
