Subject: [PATCH 2/7] tracing/function-graph-tracer: Drop the useless nmi protection

The function graph tracer used to have a protection against NMI
while entering a function entry tracing. But this is useless now,
this tracer is reentrant and the ring buffer supports the NMI tracing.
We can then drop this protection.
