[PATCH] perf: Allow ftracing perf code

[Andi Kleen]

From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

According to Stephen there is no reason left not to allow
function trace in perf code.  Don't disable the function
tracer instrumentation for the perf files. Changes the
generic and the x86 files.

I've been using variants of this patch for a long time and
haven't seen any problems.  It's really useful to figure
out why a complex perf_event_open() syscall fails.
