Changbin Du eb6d31ae22 perf ftrace: Select function/function_graph tracer automatically
The '-g/-G' options have already implied function_graph tracer should be
used instead of function tracer. So we don't need extra option
'--tracer' in this case.

This patch changes the behavior as below:

  - If '-g' or '-G' option is on, then function_graph tracer is used.
  - If '-T' or '-N' option is on, then function tracer is used.
  - The function_graph has priority over function tracer.
  - The option '--tracer' only take effect if neither -g/-G nor -T/-N
    is specified.

Here are some examples.

This will start tracing all functions using default tracer:

  $ sudo perf ftrace

This will trace all functions using function graph tracer:

  $ sudo perf ftrace -G '*'

This will trace function vfs_read using function graph tracer:

  $ sudo perf ftrace -G vfs_read

This will trace function vfs_read using function tracer:

  $ sudo perf ftrace -T vfs_read

Committer notes:

Using '-h -G' will tell what that option is about, so to further clarify
the above examples:

  # perf ftrace -h -G

    -G, --graph-funcs <func>	Set graph filter on given functions

  # perf ftrace -h -g

    -g, --nograph-funcs <func>	Set nograph filter on given functions

  # perf ftrace -h -T

    -T, --trace-funcs <func>	trace given functions only

  # perf ftrace -h -N

    -N, --notrace-funcs <func>	do not trace given functions
