Steven Rostedt 327e286643 fgraph: Do not enable function_graph tracer when setting funcgraph-args
When setting the funcgraph-args option when function graph tracer is net
enabled, it incorrectly enables it. Worse, it unregisters itself when it
was never registered. Then when it gets enabled again, it will register
itself a second time causing a WARNing.

Notice the "tracer: nop" at the top there. The current tracer is the "nop"
tracer, but the content is obviously the function graph tracer.

Enabling function graph tracing will cause it to register again and
trigger a warning in the accounting:

 ~# echo function_graph > /sys/kernel/tracing/current_tracer
 -bash: echo: write error: Device or resource busy

Have the setting of the funcgraph-args check if function_graph tracer is
the current tracer of the instance, and if not, do nothing, as there's
nothing to do (the option is checked when function_graph tracing starts).

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
