tracing: Drop the tr check from the graph tracing path
Each time we save a function entry from the function graph tracer, we check if the trace array is set, which is wasteful because it is set anyway before we start the tracer. All we need is to ensure we have good read and write orderings. When we set the trace array, we just need to guarantee it to be visible before starting tracing.
