    fgraph: Do not enable function_graph tracer when setting funcgraph-args
    
    When setting the funcgraph-args option when function graph tracer is net
    enabled, it incorrectly enables it. Worse, it unregisters itself when it
    was never registered. Then when it gets enabled again, it will register
    itself a second time causing a WARNing.

    Notice the "tracer: nop" at the top there. The current tracer is the "nop"
    tracer, but the content is obviously the function graph tracer.
    
    Enabling function graph tracing will cause it to register again and
    trigger a warning in the accounting:
    
     ~# echo function_graph > /sys/kernel/tracing/current_tracer
     -bash: echo: write error: Device or resource busy
    
    With the dmesg of:

    Have the setting of the funcgraph-args check if function_graph tracer is
    the current tracer of the instance, and if not, do nothing, as there's
    nothing to do (the option is checked when function_graph tracing starts).
