There's a possibility in enabling ftrace after the module is about to go but before ftrace_release_mod() is called (which will remove the module text from the ftrace function list). I don't see any reason for not allowing set_all_modules_text_rw() from being called if a module is going. If a module is going, shouldn't its text be rw anyway? Perhaps just preventing it from turning into ro will be sufficient.

There is no > reason not to extend this to modules which are going away too. Well, it depends on all the callers (ie. ftrace): is that also ignoring modules which are going away? Otherwise, we set MODULE_STATE_GOING, ftrace walks all the modules and this one is still RO...
