Once the function_graph tracer is enabled, a filtered function has the
following call sequence:
* ftracer_caller ==> on/off by ftrace_make_call/ftrace_make_nop
* ftrace_graph_caller
* ftrace_graph_call ==> on/off by ftrace_en/disable_ftrace_graph_caller
* prepare_ftrace_return
Considering the following DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS feature, it would be
more extendable to have a ftrace_graph_caller function, instead of
calling prepare_ftrace_return directly in ftrace_caller.

We now have dynamic ftrace with the following added items:
* ftrace_make_call, ftrace_make_nop (in kernel/ftrace.c)
The two functions turn each recorded call site of filtered functions
into a call to ftrace_caller or nops
* ftracce_update_ftrace_func (in kernel/ftrace.c)
turns the nops at ftrace_call into a call to a generic entry for
function tracers.
* ftrace_caller (in kernel/mcount-dyn.S)
The entry where each _mcount call sites calls to once they are
filtered to be traced.
Also, this patch fixes the semantic problems in mcount.S, which will be
treated as only a reference implementation once we have the dynamic
ftrace.
