ftrace: Fix hash record accounting bug
If the set_ftrace_filter is cleared by writing just whitespace to
it, then the filter hash refcounts will be decremented but not
updated. This causes two bugs:
1) No functions will be enabled for tracing when they all should be
2) If the users clears the set_ftrace_filter twice, it will crash ftrace:
