Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] perf: Fix ftrace builtin when kernel doesn't have function_graph

When linux is built without support for function graph tracer, the ftrace
builtin of perf will fail when trying to reset max_graph_depth because the
file does not exist. This prevents the use of function tracer from perf.

Only try to write the file max_graph_depth file when it exists.
