Nothing sets function_trace_stop to disable function tracing anymore.
Remove the check for it in the arch code.

arm64 was broken anyway, as it had an ifdef testing
  CONFIG_HAVE_FUNCTION_TRACE_MCOUNT_TEST which is only set if
the arch supports the code (which it obviously did not), and
it was testing a non existent ftrace_trace_stop instead of
function_trace_stop.

Yeah, the current code is total crap. Well spotted.

Thank you for fixing my bug :)
I also exercised ftrace with sysfs interface, and it just works well.

I'm happy for you to take this via the ftrace tree, along with the rest of
the series.

I successfully ran the ftrace self tests with this applied (on top of
"ftrace: Remove check for HAVE_FUNCTION_TRACE_MCOUNT_TEST"), but note
that I don't have a platform with working suspend/resume right now.

Cheers,

Will
