Subject: [PATCH RESEND 2/2] ftrace: Add funcgraph_tail option to print
	function name after closing braces

In the function-graph tracer, add a funcgraph_tail option
to print the function name on all } lines, not just
functions whose first line is no longer in the trace
buffer.

If a function calls other traced functions, its total
time appears on its } line.  This change allows grep
to be used to determine the function for which the
line corresponds.

Update Documentation/trace/ftrace.txt to describe
this new option.

+Display of the function name after the closing bracket may be

 You can put some comments on specific functions by using
 trace_printk() For example, if you want to put a comment inside
 the __might_sleep() function, you just have to include
