Note. Ideally we want it to hook with DYNAMIC_FTARCE_WITH_ARGS, and not
FTRACE_WITH_REGS. If arm64 is like x86_64, saving all regs at every
function call has a bit more overhead than saving the minimum. The
DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS, means that the minimum is still saved, but now
exposes the arguments and the stack pointer, which function_graph_tracer
needs.
