ftrace: Make ftrace_graph_is_dead() a static branch
ftrace_graph_is_dead() is used on hot paths, it just reads a variable
in memory and is not worth suffering function call constraints.
For instance, at entry of prepare_ftrace_return(), inlining it avoids
saving prepare_ftrace_return() parameters to stack and restoring them
after calling ftrace_graph_is_dead().
While at it using a static branch is even more performant and is
rather well adapted considering that the returned value will almost
never change.
Inline ftrace_graph_is_dead() and replace 'kill_ftrace_graph' bool
by a static branch.
The performance improvement is noticeable.
