tracing: Fix infinite recursion in ftrace_update_pid_func()

When CONFIG_HAVE_FUNCTION_TRACE_MCOUNT_TEST is enabled
__ftrace_trace_function contains the current trace function, not
ftrace_trace_function.

In ftrace_update_pid_func() we currently incorrectly assign the
value of ftrace_trace_function to __ftrace_trace_funcion before
returning.

Without this patch it is possible to execute an infinite recursion
whereby ftrace_test_stop_func() calls __ftrace_trace_function,
which was assigned ftrace_test_stop_func() in
ftrace_update_pid_func().
