[RESEND][PATCH]Ftrace - fix function_graph tracer OOPS

This time sending the patch as inline and not as an attachment.

Enabling function graph causes oops due to usage of LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE().
As explained by Ben the usage of LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE generates relocs that are
not supported when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is set. 

Switch to LOAD_REG_ADDR().
