ftrace: Check for null ret_stack on profile function graph entry function
There's a small race when function graph shutsdown and the calling of the registered function graph entry callback. The callback must not reference the task's ret_stack without first checking that it is not NULL. Note, when a ret_stack is allocated for a task, it stays allocated until the task exits. The problem here, is that function_graph is shutdown, and a new task was created, which doesn't have its ret_stack allocated. But since some of the functions are still being traced, the callbacks can still be called. The normal function_graph code handles this, but starting with commit 8861dd30 ("ftrace: Access ret_stack->subtime only in the function profiler") the profiler code references the ret_stack on function entry, but doesn't check if it is NULL first.
