[for-next][PATCH 09/18] powerpc/function_graph: Simplify with function_graph_entry()

From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt at goodmis.org>

The function_graph_entry() function does the work of calling the function
graph hook function and the management of the shadow stack, simplifying the
work done in the architecture dependent prepare_ftrace_return().

Have powerpc use the new code, and remove the shadow stack management as well as
having to set up the trace structure.

This is needed to prepare for a fix of a design bug on how the curr_ret_stack
is used.
