[PATCH 8/8] powerpc/xmon: Disable function_graph tracing while in xmon

HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_FP_TEST reveals another area (apart from jprobes)
that conflicts with the function_graph tracer: xmon. This is due to the
use of longjmp() in various places in xmon.

To address this, pause function_graph tracing while in xmon.
