Hmm. There are still a couple of CONFIG_HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_RETVAL guards
kicking around:

include/linux/ftrace.h:#ifdef CONFIG_HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_RETVAL
kernel/trace/fgraph.c:#ifdef CONFIG_HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_RETVAL

so it's not clear we can just remove the option from arm64 without
breaking ftrace_return_to_handler(). What am I missing?
