function-graph: Add tracing_thresh support to function_graph tracer

Add support for tracing_thresh to the function_graph tracer.  This
version of this feature isolates the checks into new entry and
return functions, to avoid adding more conditional code into the
main function_graph paths.

When the tracing_thresh is set and the function graph tracer is
enabled, only the functions that took longer than the time in
microseconds that was set in tracing_thresh are recorded. To do this
efficiently, only the function exits are recorded:

 [tracing]# echo 100 > tracing_thresh
 [tracing]# echo function_graph > current_tracer
 [tracing]# cat trace
 # tracer: function_graph
 #
 # CPU  DURATION                  FUNCTION CALLS
 # |     |   |                     |   |   |   |

  0) ! 168.817 us  |      } /* irq_exit */
  0) ! 248.254 us  |    } /* smp_apic_timer_interrupt */

Also, add support for specifying tracing_thresh on the kernel
command line.  When used like so: "tracing_thresh=200 ftrace=function_graph"
this can be used to analyse system startup.  It is important to disable
tracing soon after boot, in order to avoid losing the trace data.
