ftrace: Fix en(dis)able graph caller when en(dis)abling record via sysctl

When ftrace is enabled globally through the proc interface, we must check if
ftrace_graph_active is set. If it is set, then we should also pass the
FTRACE_START_FUNC_RET command to ftrace_run_update_code(). Similarly, when
ftrace is disabled globally through the proc interface, we must check if
ftrace_graph_active is set. If it is set, then we should also pass the
FTRACE_STOP_FUNC_RET command to ftrace_run_update_code().

Consider the following situation.

 # echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled

After this ftrace_enabled = 0.

 # echo function_graph > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer

Since ftrace_enabled = 0, ftrace_enable_ftrace_graph_caller() is never
called.

 # echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled

Now ftrace_enabled will be set to true, but still
ftrace_enable_ftrace_graph_caller() will not be called, which is not
desired.

Further if we execute the following after this:
  # echo nop > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer

Now since ftrace_enabled is set it will call
ftrace_disable_ftrace_graph_caller(), which causes a kernel warning on
the ARM platform.

On the ARM platform, when ftrace_enable_ftrace_graph_caller() is called,
it checks whether the old instruction is a nop or not. If it's not a nop,
then it returns an error. If it is a nop then it replaces instruction at
that address with a branch to ftrace_graph_caller.
ftrace_disable_ftrace_graph_caller() behaves just the opposite. Therefore,
if generic ftrace code ever calls either ftrace_enable_ftrace_graph_caller()
or ftrace_disable_ftrace_graph_caller() consecutively two times in a row,
then it will return an error, which will cause the generic ftrace code to
raise a warning.

Note, x86 does not have an issue with this because the architecture
specific code for ftrace_enable_ftrace_graph_caller() and
ftrace_disable_ftrace_graph_caller() does not check the previous state,
and calling either of these functions twice in a row has no ill effect.

  removed extra if (ftrace_start_up) and defined ftrace_graph_active as 0
  if CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER is not set.
