Enabled the stack tracer on boot up.

+ [FTRACE] Limit the functions that the stack tracer
+ will trace at boot up. function-list is a comma separated
+ list of functions. This list can be changed at run
+ time by the stack_trace_filter file in the debugfs
+ tracing directory. Note, this enables stack tracing
