function_graph: Allow multiple users to attach to function graph
Allow for multiple users to attach to function graph tracer at the same time. Only 16 simultaneous users can attach to the tracer. This is because there's an array that stores the pointers to the attached fgraph_ops. When a function being traced is entered, each of the ftrace_ops entryfunc is called and if it returns non zero, its index into the array will be added to the shadow stack. On exit of the function being traced, the shadow stack will contain the indexes of the ftrace_ops on the array that want their retfunc to be called. Because a function may sleep for a long time (if a task sleeps itself), the return of the function may be literally days later. If the ftrace_ops is removed, its place on the array is replaced with a ftrace_ops that contains the stub functions and that will be called when the function finally returns. If another ftrace_ops is added that happens to get the same index into the array, its return function may be called. But that's actually the way things current work with the old function graph tracer. If one tracer is removed and another is added, the new one will get the return calls of the function traced by the previous one, thus this is not a regression. This can be fixed by adding a counter to each time the array item is updated and save that on the shadow stack as well, such that it won't be called if the index saved does not match the index on the array. Note, being able to filter functions when both are called is not completely handled yet, but that shouldn't be too hard to manage.
