linux-next 5/5 does not boot

[Daniel Hazelton]

This may be related to one of the stack dumps I reported earlier as occurring 
when booting the 4/30 linux-next tree...

During two attempted boots of the 5/5 tree using the same config as the 4/30 
tree the system locked solid at "testing tracer ftrace".

The 4/30 tree produced the following dump (the 5/5 tree locks solid as soon as 
the test is started):

config for 5/5 tree will be provided on request. Dmesg from 4/30 tree is also 
available. System had not mounted the root drive before the ftrace crash, so 
I have no available logs or dmesg from the 5/5 tree. If asked, I will attempt 
to setup a netconsole and try to capture the logs there.
