Subject: [PATCH] fgraph: Remove redundant ftrace_graph_notrace_addr() test

We already have tested it before. The second one should be removed.
With this change, the performance should have little improvement.

Fixes: 9cd2992f2d6c ("fgraph: Have set_graph_notrace only affect function_graph tracer")
