As far as I can tell this issue has been around since the function_graph
tracer was introduced in 2008:

  15e6cb3673ea ("tracing: add a tracer to catch execution time of kernel functions")

(Though only for gcc >= 4.4.)

Not sure if it's overkill to specify 'Fixes' for an 8+ year old bug?  I
guess it can't hurt anything.

I think it can go in all of the stable branches.
