Subject: [PATCH 1/3] ftrace: add kernel command line graph function filtering

From: Stefan Assmann <sassmann@...hat.com>

Add a command line parameter to allow limiting the function graphs
that are traced on boot up from the given top-level callers , when
ftrace=function_graph is specified.

This patch adds the following command line option:
ftrace_graph_filter=function-list

Where function-list is a comma separated list of functions to filter.

[fweisbec@...il.com: picked the documentation changes from the v2 patch]
