[PATCH v3 1/5] powerpc: ftrace: minor cleanup

Move the stack setup and teardown code to the ftrace_graph_caller().
This way, we don't incur the cost of setting it up unless function graph
is enabled for this function.

Also, remove the extraneous LR restore code after the function graph
stub. LR has previously been restored and neither livepatch_handler()
nor ftrace_graph_caller() return back here.
