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")

Thanks! I think this should even be marked for stable. Not really a bad
bug, but a bug none the less.

No.

I actually already pulled it in and ran it through my tests. I'm
waiting on some more tests before pushing it off to Linus.
