      scripts: ftrace - move the sort-processing in ftrace_init

and I can confirm that your updates today in "[for-linus][PATCH 00/10]
tracing: Fixes for 5.17-rc1" fix or avoid the issue.  I just wanted to
add my report in case this adds any future complications for mcount
build time sorting.  Let me know if any additional tests would be
helpful.

Thanks for letting me know. That patch set has already landed in Linus's
tree.
