We need to make a new defined in ftrace.h:

#if defined(CONFIG_HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_FP_TEST) && !defined(CC_USING_FENTRY)
# define HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_FP_TEST
#endif

And use that instead of this && complexity.

Or better yet, get rid of the CONFIG_HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_FP_TEST define
and only have HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_FP_TEST defined in the asm/ftrace.h
in each arch. Then, x86 could just do;

#ifndef CC_USING_FENTRY
# define HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_FP_TEST
#endif
