Subject: [PATCH 5.2 082/131] fgraph: Remove redundant ftrace_graph_notrace_addr() test

From: Changbin Du <changbin.du@...il.com>

commit 6c77221df96177da0520847ce91e33f539fb8b2d upstream.

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")
