[PATCH 5/6] ftrace: Fix possible out-of-bound issue in ftrace_process_locs()

In ftrace_process_locs(), a series pages are prepared and linked in
start_pg, then fentry records are skipped or added, then unused pages
are freed.

However, assume that all records are skipped, currently the start_pg
will still be in list of ftrace_pages_start but without any record.
Then in ftrace_free_mem() index record by (pg->index - 1) will be out
of bound.

To fix this issue, properly handle with unused start_pg and add
WARN_ON_ONCE() where the records need to be indexed.
