Ftrace fixes for 6.13:

- Always try to initialize the idle functions when graph tracer starts
 
   A bug was found that when a CPU is offline when graph tracing starts
   and then comes online, that CPU is not traced. The fix to that was
   to move the initialization of the idle shadow stack over to the
   hot plug online logic, which also handle onlined CPUs. The issue was
   that it removed the initialization of the shadow stack when graph tracing
   starts, but the callbacks to the hot plug logic do nothing if graph
   tracing isn't currently running. Although that fix fixed the onlining
   of a CPU during tracing, it broke the CPUs that were already online.
 
 - Have microblaze not try to get the "true parent" in function tracing
 
   If function tracing and graph tracing are both enabled at the same time
   the parent of the functions traced by the function tracer may sometimes
   be the graph tracing trampoline. The graph tracing hijacks the return
   pointer of the function to trace it, but that can interfere with the
   function tracing parent output. This was fixed by using the
   ftrace_graph_ret_addr() function passing in the kernel stack pointer
   using the ftrace_regs_get_stack_pointer() function. But Al Viro reported
   that Microblaze does not implement the kernel_stack_pointer(regs)
   helper function that ftrace_regs_get_stack_pointer() uses and fails
   to compile when function graph tracing is enabled.
 
   It was first thought that this was a microblaze issue, but the real
   cause is that this only works when an architecture implements
   HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS, as a requirement for that config
   is to have ftrace always pass a valid ftrace_regs to the callbacks.
   That also means that the architecture supports ftrace_regs_get_stack_pointer()
   Microblaze does not set HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS nor does it
   implement ftrace_regs_get_stack_pointer() which caused it to fail to
   build. Only implement the "true parent" logic if an architecture has
   that config set.

   If function tracing and graph tracing are both enabled at the same
   time the parent of the functions traced by the function tracer may
   sometimes be the graph tracing trampoline. The graph tracing hijacks
   the return pointer of the function to trace it, but that can

   function. But Al Viro reported that Microblaze does not implement the
   kernel_stack_pointer(regs) helper function that
