I believe the problem is we're iterating through every event
defined in __start_ftrace_events.
We should iterate through the events added to the ftrace_events list.

Might be. But perhaps we could solve it by simply iterating through
ftrace_events list.
What do you think? Either way I can send another patch fixing it.
