samples: ftrace: Make some global variables static

smatch reports this representative issue
samples/ftrace/ftrace-ops.c:15:14: warning: symbol 'nr_function_calls' was not declared. Should it be static?

The nr_functions_calls and several other global variables are only
used in ftrace-ops.c, so they should be static.
Remove the instances of initializing static int to 0.

ftrace: sample: avoid open-coded 64-bit division

Calculating the average period requires a 64-bit division that leads
to a link failure on 32-bit architectures:

x86_64-linux-ld: samples/ftrace/ftrace-ops.o: in function `ftrace_ops_sample_init':
ftrace-ops.c:(.init.text+0x23b): undefined reference to `__udivdi3'

Use the div_u64() helper to do this instead. Since this is an init function that
is not called frequently, the runtime overhead is going to be acceptable.

ftrace: Add sample with custom ops

When reworking core ftrace code or architectural ftrace code, it's often
necessary to test/analyse/benchmark a number of ftrace_ops
configurations. This patch adds a module which can be used to explore
some of those configurations.

I'm using this to benchmark various options for changing the way
trampolines and handling of ftrace_ops work on arm64, and ensuring other
architectures aren't adversely affected.

For example, in a QEMU+KVM VM running on a 2GHz Xeon E5-2660
workstation, loading the module in various configurations produces:
