Steven Rostedt 5361499101 ftrace: add stack trace to function tracer 
Impact: new feature to stack trace any function

Chris Mason asked about being able to pick and choose a function
and get a stack trace from it. This feature enables his request.

 # echo io_schedule > /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
 # echo function > /debug/tracing/current_tracer
 # echo func_stack_trace > /debug/tracing/trace_options

Produces the following in /debug/tracing/trace:

       kjournald-702   [001]   135.673060: io_schedule <-sync_buffer
       kjournald-702   [002]   135.673671:
 <= sync_buffer
 <= __wait_on_bit
 <= out_of_line_wait_on_bit
 <= __wait_on_buffer
 <= sync_dirty_buffer
 <= journal_commit_transaction
 <= kjournald

Note, be careful about turning this on without filtering the functions.
You may find that you have a 10 second lag between typing and seeing
what you typed. This is why the stack trace for the function tracer
does not use the same stack_trace flag as the other tracers use.
