Steven Rostedt 7d137e604a fgraph: Remove unnecessary disabling of interrupts and recursion 
The function graph tracer disables interrupts as well as prevents
recursion via NMIs when recording the graph tracer code. There's no reason
to do this today. That disabling goes back to 2008 when the function graph
tracer was first introduced and recursion protection wasn't part of the
code.

Today, there's no reason to disable interrupts or prevent the code from
recursing as the infrastructure can easily handle it.
