Hmm, I thought the graph tracer depends on function tracer? Anyway, the
configs should be cleaned up. I would like to make CONFIG_FTRACE just mean
the function hook mechanism (mcount,fentry,etc) and not be used for the
tracing system.

Anyway, we can just make ftrace_regs defined outside any config for now.
