Since older kernel didn't support separated instance of
set_ftrace_filter, if the test case set the filter in
an instance, it will propagate to top-level instance.
This means that the filter setting remains even if we
remove the instance, and will cause other tests failure.
To avoid this issue, reset the ftrace filter if we
detect the propagation.

Half of the test in instance-event.tc was updated to use $! to find the PID
of the previous background process that was launched, but the second part of
the test still used the parsing of "jobs", which does not work on all shells
like $! does.

Add a new ftrace test that creates three threads. One that creates and
removes an ftrace instance, one that reads the instance, and one that enables
and disables events in the instance. This is a stress test for accessing and
removing instances at the same time.

The ftracetest instance test used parsing of the "jobs" output to find the
pid of the subshell that is executed previously. But this is not portable to
all major shells that may run these tests. The proper way to get the pid of
the subshell is the shell command "$!". This will return the pid of the
previously executed command. Use that instead, otherwise the test does not
work in all environments.

Create a test to test instance creation and deletion. Several tasks are
created that create 3 directories and delete them. The tasks all create the
same directories. This places a stress on the code that creates and deletes
instances.
