[PATCH v1] ftrace: Make ftrace_graph_is_dead() static inline

[Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@csgroup.eu>]

ftrace_graph_is_dead() is used on hot paths, it just reads a variable
in memory and is not worth suffering function call constraints.

For instance, at entry of prepare_ftrace_return(), inlining it avoids
saving prepare_ftrace_return() parameters to stack and restoring them
after calling ftrace_graph_is_dead().

The performance improvement is noticeable.
