[PATCH] ftrace: Document ftrace command line limitations

[Peter Hurley <peter@hurleysoftware.com>]

When using the function or function_graph tracers from the command
line, certain command line options have limitations.

Document that only kernel built-in functions can be filtered via
ftrace_filter= or ftrace_graph_filter=. Also document that tracer-
specific options cannot be set on the command line via trace_options.
