ftrace: Optimize function graph to be called directly

Function graph tracing is a bit different than the function tracers, as
it is processed after either the ftrace_caller or ftrace_regs_caller
and we only have one place to modify the jump to ftrace_graph_caller,
the jump needs to happen after the restore of registeres.

The function graph tracer is dependent on the function tracer, where
even if the function graph tracing is going on by itself, the save and
restore of registers is still done for function tracing regardless of
if function tracing is happening, before it calls the function graph
code.

If there's no function tracing happening, it is possible to just call
the function graph tracer directly, and avoid the wasted effort to save
and restore regs for function tracing.

This requires adding new flags to the dyn_ftrace records:

  FTRACE_FL_TRAMP
  FTRACE_FL_TRAMP_EN

The first is set if the count for the record is one, and the ftrace_ops
associated to that record has its own trampoline. That way the mcount code
can call that trampoline directly.

In the future, trampolines can be added to arbitrary ftrace_ops, where you
can have two or more ftrace_ops registered to ftrace (like kprobes and perf)
and if they are not tracing the same functions, then instead of doing a
loop to check all registered ftrace_ops against their hashes, just call the
ftrace_ops trampoline directly, which would call the registered ftrace_ops
function directly.

Without this patch perf showed:

  0.05%  hackbench  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] ftrace_caller
  0.05%  hackbench  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] arch_local_irq_save
  0.05%  hackbench  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] native_sched_clock
  0.04%  hackbench  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] __buffer_unlock_commit
  0.04%  hackbench  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] preempt_trace
  0.04%  hackbench  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] prepare_ftrace_return
  0.04%  hackbench  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] __this_cpu_preempt_check
  0.04%  hackbench  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] ftrace_graph_caller

See that the ftrace_caller took up more time than the ftrace_graph_caller
did.

With this patch:

  0.05%  hackbench  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] __buffer_unlock_commit
  0.04%  hackbench  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] call_filter_check_discard
  0.04%  hackbench  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] ftrace_graph_caller
  0.04%  hackbench  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] sched_clock

The ftrace_caller is no where to be found and ftrace_graph_caller still
takes up the same percentage.
