and since it implies CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE, CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE is not 
needed in ftrace.c

The below two changes to trace/Makefile and trace/ftrace.c make 
sense, but I'm not sure the above changes are necessary.

For generic code (outside arch/powerpc/kernel/trace), I think it is good 
to retain the actual dependency which is DYNAMIC_FTRACE. In my view, 
gating some of the above code on FUNCTION_TRACER is also confusing. The 
primary implication of always selecting DYNAMIC_FTRACE is within the 
powerpc trace code, and it is good to keep it that way.
