Subject: [PATCH -next] trace/fgraph: Fix the warning caused by missing unregister notifier

This warning was triggered during testing on v6.16:

notifier callback ftrace_suspend_notifier_call already registered
WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 86 at kernel/notifier.c:23 notifier_chain_register+0x44/0xb0
...
Call Trace:

 do_syscall_64+0xa4/0x260
 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f

When writing to the function_profile_enabled interface, the notifier was
not unregistered after start_graph_tracing failed, causing a warning the
next time function_profile_enabled was written.

Fixed by adding unregister_pm_notifier in the exception path.
