ftrace: Do not find "true_parent" if HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS is not set
When function tracing and function graph tracing are both enabled (in
different instances) the "parent" of some of the function tracing events
is "return_to_handler" which is the trampoline used by function graph
tracing. To fix this, ftrace_get_true_parent_ip() was introduced that
returns the "true" parent ip instead of the trampoline.
To do this, the ftrace_regs_get_stack_pointer() is used, which uses
kernel_stack_pointer(). The problem is that microblaze does not implement
kerenl_stack_pointer() so when function graph tracing is enabled, the
build fails. But microblaze also does not enabled HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS.
That option has to be enabled by the architecture to reliably get the
values from the fregs parameter passed in. When that config is not set,
the architecture can also pass in NULL, which is not tested for in that
function and could cause the kernel to crash.
