[PATCHv2] ARM: ftrace: enable function graph tracer

Add the options to enable the function graph tracer on ARM.  Function
graph tracer support requires frame pointers, so exclude Thumb-2 and
also make sure FRAME_POINTER gets enabled when FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER is
used, since FUNCTION_TRACER doesn't "select FRAME_POINTER" when
ARM_UNWIND is used.  Therefore, with GCC 4.4.0+, you get plain function
tracing without frame pointers, but you'll need them if you want
function graph tracing.
