ftrace: Remove selecting FRAME_POINTER with FUNCTION_TRACER

The function tracer will enable the -pg option with gcc, which requires
that frame pointers. When FRAME_POINTER is defined in the kernel config
it adds the gcc option -fno-omit-frame-pointer which causes some problems
on some architectures. For those architectures, the FRAME_POINTER select
was not set.

When FUNCTION_TRACER was selected on these architectures that can not have
-fno-omit-frame-pointer, the -pg option is still set. But when
FRAME_POINTER is not selected, the kernel config would add the gcc option
-fomit-frame-pointer. Adding this option is incompatible with -pg
even on archs that do not need frame pointers with -pg.

The answer to this was to just not add either -fno-omit-frame-pointer
or -fomit-frame-pointer on these archs that want function tracing
but do not set FRAME_POINTER.

As it turns out, for archs that require frame pointers for function
tracing, the same can be used. If gcc requires frame pointers with
-pg, it will simply add it. The best thing to do is not select FRAME_POINTER
when function tracing is selected, and let gcc add it if needed.

Only add the -fno-omit-frame-pointer when something else selects
FRAME_POINTER, but do not add -fomit-frame-pointer if function tracing
is selected.
