[PATCHv2] tracing: handle atomic context in graph_trace_open()

[Rabin Vincent]

graph_trace_open() can be called in atomic context from ftrace_dump().
Use GFP_ATOMIC for the memory allocations when that's the case, in order
to avoid the following splat.

 BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at mm/slab.c:2849
 in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 128, pid: 0, name: swapper/0
