Let's not add branches into the fast path. This isn't needed. I'll
explain below.

The only way graph_trace_update_thresh() can be called is if the
current tracer happens to be the function graph tracer. Which means
that we are currently tracing and graph_array will be set. This will
not be called if function graph tracing is not set, because it is
called with the trace_types_lock mutex held.

Get rid of the graph_array tests and don't modify it. That is, just do
the reset and init unconditionally here.
