Subject: [PATCH 1/3] perf ftrace: Remove needless code setting default tracer

Lately commit a349764 made 'function_graph' be the default tracer.
So ftrace.tracer variable can't be NULL but the other code setting default
tracer remained. For this reason, remove it as below.
And use existing DEFAULT_TRACER instead of "function_graph".
