ftrace: add ftrace_graph_stop()
Impact: new ftrace_graph_stop function
While developing more features of function graph, I hit a bug that
caused the WARN_ON to trigger in the prepare_ftrace_return function.
Well, it was hard for me to find out that was happening because the
bug would not print, it would just cause a hard lockup or reboot.
The reason is that it is not safe to call printk from this function.
Looking further, I also found that it calls unregister_ftrace_graph,
which grabs a mutex and calls kstop machine. This would definitely
lock the box up if it were to trigger.
This patch adds a fast and safe ftrace_graph_stop() which will
stop the function tracer. Then it is safe to call the WARN ON.
