ftrace: fix race in function graph during fork

Impact: graph tracer race/crash fix

There is a nasy race in startup of a new process running the
function graph tracer. In fork.c:

	total_forks++;
	spin_unlock(&current->sighand->siglock);
	write_unlock_irq(&tasklist_lock);
	ftrace_graph_init_task(p);
	proc_fork_connector(p);
	cgroup_post_fork(p);
	return p;

The new task is free to run as soon as the tasklist_lock is released.
This is before the ftrace_graph_init_task. If the task does run
it will be using the same ret_stack and curr_ret_stack as the parent.
This will cause crashes that are difficult to debug.

This patch moves the ftrace_graph_init_task to just after the alloc_pid
code. This fixes the above race.
