Subject: [PATCH V2] tracing, function graph: Remove the noisy output when
 use function graph filter

If we use function graph filter(echo some_functions >> set_graph_function)
we are only interested in the graph of some_functions.

But if a interrupt occurs when these functions are being traced(or preparing),
the graphs of the handlers of this interrupt are also recorded.
These events that we aren't interested in are totally noisy.

This patch skip the noise when TRACE_GRAPH_FILTER_SKIP_INTR flag is on
(very very seldom noise is still left, It's OK for tracing, doesn't it?).

changed from v1:
Add a TRACE_GRAPH_FILTER_SKIP_INTR flag which is default off
to control it.
